The water level is fairly stable at 301 feet.
Stripers are biting on live shad, from buoy 10 to Bluestone Creek. Fishing is good in the upper end of the lake, as the stripers continue their spawning run. Red Fins and small Shad Raps are the prime lures, while three inch Sassy Shads are taking white bass, from Bluestone Creek upriver.
Largemouth bass are taking spinnerbaits, Speed Shads and Jerk baits adjacent to the willow bushes on main lake points. These fish are in the pre-spawn mode, while the fish in the backs of the creeks are fanning beds and taking jig ‘n pig and topwater lures.
