The lake fell to 65 percent of its storage capacity, and fishing remained good for all species. White bass chased bait on the surface and anglers clobbered them with topwater baits, spoons, and small live minnows. Spotted bass also took lures on the surface. Poppers, walking baits, and Whopper Ploppers all took fish. Finesse baits worked well for spotted bass out to 30 feet deep with brown, smoke, and watermelon all coaxing bites. Crappie ate small live minnows and minijigs in 15 feet of water, and catfish anglers reported using cut mackerel to land some solid whisker fish.
