Weather: Weather at the lake has been warming up- ranging from the mid 40s to about 60 degrees. The water surface temperature in the marina area is 58 degrees.

Clarity of Water: The water is somewhat murky with green algae around the marina and clarity will increase as you get closer to the dam. The water level is higher than normal for this time of year.

Hot spots: The hot spots have been the West beach, East beach, the Narrows and Badger Cove.

What Bait to Use:
Stripers- Anchovies

Catfish- Chicken Liver, Anchovies, Sardines and Night Crawlers. Catfish tend to not be interested in any lures.

Trout- Power bait, night crawlers have been working well. Trout also love lures such as Panther Martins, Kastmasters, Rooster Tails and all types of small spinners.

Largemouth/ Smallmouth- Plastic Worms have been a good choice, another good choice is Jigs or Drop Shots, various spinners.

Crappie/Panfish-  Night Crawlers, Redworms, and little Micro Jigs have been working good as well.
