Striped Bass: The striper bite has maintained a decent rate. Cut bait such as chicken liver down near the dam or inlet is absolutely your best bet this past week. Water level is extremely low.

Bluegill: Medium bite happening throughout the lake! For best results stop and grab crickets to top a minijig. Mealworms can also be extremely effective.

Catfish: A but slower still this past week. For your best chance use mackerel or chicken liver on the bottom.

Largemouth Bass: Water level is nearing the low 60’s so be on the lookout for shallow water fish. Water level is low. Variety of lures in the shallow water is your best bet.

Trout: Next stock of trout is March 8th. Come out a soon as possible after the stock and throw your favorite mini jig or color of powerbait.

Carp: No action to be reported.
