Water temperatures are in the low 70s. Algae continues to impact water clarity and weed growth is thick in the southern portion of the reservoir. Until water temperatures come down a bit more, trout fishing will remain slow, especially from shore. The trout bite is better for boaters who can reach the deeper, cooler water. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms, as well as flashy spinners. Fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns, or streamers off the dam. Fish shallower water in the early morning, and then focus on drop offs and deeper water as the day warms up.

Bass and catfish fishing remains good. Both smallmouth and largemouth bass are hitting soft plastics, chatter baits and a variety of crankbaits. Try flukes and Senkos in different varieties of greens and purples with sparkles. Special regulations: Starting July 1, anglers may keep one black bass 15 inches or longer.
