Anglers continue to report catching good numbers of fish in the 3 to 6 lb. Vertically fishing various presentations involving worms around flooded brush and/or timber, and along the dam face.Ĭut bait, worms, and prepared baits fished with set lines and rod and reel over shallow flats, rocky points, and other structures such as submerged parking lots. Working shallow water with top-water baits early and late has been effective too. Fishing soft plastics, swimbaits, and crankbaits are all effective bait choices. Our recent sample indicated there are very high numbers of crappie in the lake now and anglers could have great success throughout the year.ĬAUTION: LONGER BOAT TRAILERS MAY FALL OFF EDGE OF BOAT RAMP WHEN WATER IS LOWįish are generally orienting around secondary and mainlake points especially those with hard bottom types and other rocky structure. Anglers are encouraged to harvest high numbers of crappie to help maintain a desirable level. Focus on deeper structure like brushpiles and rocks during summer. Anglers will also find some around the brush piles and off the ends of the jetties closest to the dam.Īnglers should target the brush piles and other submerged structure with minnows and jigs. Jig and crawler, large shiners, crankbaits, and swim baits are all good options to use for catching saugeye now. The best number of saugeye can be found on the upper end around the jetties and other rocky areas. The shallow upper end is a great area to find big catfish on warm spring days. Targeting inflow is a popular method as the catfish will congregate there to feed. Anglers should try using shad sides, shad gizzards, shrimp, nightcrawlers, and chicken liver. Some anglers prefer to fly fish with small nymphs or dry flies fished on the surface.įish can be caught just about anywhere on the lake. These guys can be caught throughout the year using a variety of techniques. Look for bluegill around the rocks on the piers, flat shorelines, and around any brush in the water. Fish can be caught use wacky worms, Senkos, Ned Rigs, spinnerbaits, roadrunners, and crankbaits.

Fish can be caught around any aquatic vegetation, off the rocky jetties, and around the overhanging trees in the water.
