At Lake Pleasant, the water level is dropping. Water surface level was at 1,668 feet this week (64.6% of max). Fishing for white bass and stripers is fair as they adjust to the lowered water levels. Some reports of success with largemouth bass. Best baits seem to be topwater, drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, Senkos, and swimbaits.
