The water clarity is clear in most of the lake with a few areas being a little stained. The water temperature continues to cool with the average being 52-55 degrees. Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is open with a two lane concrete ramp and a dock. Trout: Good. Many anglers are having much success targeting trout. The trout are in the upper portion of the water column which makes them easier to locate and catch. Bank anglers are catching a fish on each outing, along with a few limits. In many areas of the lake the bottom in covered with trees and snags. When fishing these heavily covered areas, use a presentation that will suspend above, free of snags. The best way to achieve this presentation is with a slip-float. With a bobber-stop you can adjust your leader to the water depth you are trying to fish. Nightcrawlers, live minnows, Power Bait and soft plastics are all good choice to use suspended below a slip-float. Another good way to catch them is by making multiple casts with a Kastmaster and covering a lot of water. Trolling anglers have been catching a handful of nice rainbow trout. The fish are near the surface which makes long-lining, leadcore line and side-planers a good approach. Bass: Good. Most anglers are catching plenty of fish on each outing. The lake is full of 1 to 3-pound spotted bass that will feed multiple times throughout the day. The lake also has a very large population of shad. These schooling bass will gorge on these balls of shad and can be caught anywhere the baitfish is located. Creek channels, bluffs and rocky points are all good places to find aggressively feeding fish. The shad will often suspend in the water column over deep water. These suspending fish can be caught on a dropshot rig. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
