As the fish now remain in shallow water and paired up for spawn this can be a very fun but also frustrating time to fish here as you can see them but they can be very tight lipped. Please avoid targeting actively spawning fish here so they can eventually establish a self-sustaining population. Best fishing during mornings and evenings as it warms to the mid 80’s by noon. Both stripping and indicator fishing here remains good and we always recommend having a variety of tackle to accommodate any situation.
