Water temperature has cooled and is 48-52 degrees.  The lake is clear, to slightly stained. The lake has turned over. Trout are schooled up in hunting packs, chasing shad right up into the shallows, so that is where the action is.  Bank anglers and those who cast lures or bait into the shore from their boat will have the best luck for rainbows.  Trolling anglers should target major coves and creek arms, close to shore. Bass bite is fairly tough. Most anglers are having trouble locating quality fish.  The water temperature drastically dropped over the last few weeks. The fish seemed to have moved into deep water for the winter. They are feeding on main lake points throughout the day. But, with such cold water they will feed a lot less than normal due to a slower metabolism. Now is a good time to fish finesse style presentations, such as a drop-shot rig.  Small, slow moving baits will trigger more bites
