Water level is at 302 and stable.
Stripers are being caught trolling Redfins and bucktails, 10-15 feet deep, in the main channel from Clarksville to Bowie Point. Broken back Redfins are producing well at night toward the dam and in Eastland Creek. There are also plenty of fish in the river.
White bass, although not common, are surfacing late in the evening, hitting small bucktails, Roostertails and small crankbaits. Bass are hitting good throughout the lake. Best success is had by dropping plastic baits in the flooded buckbrush. Jerk baits, fished parallel to buckbrush laden banks will also produce.
White perch are actively taking nightcrawlers and Berkley power baits, fished on the bottom.
