The lake held near 82 percent of its storage capacity last week, and fishing remained good across multiple species. Largemouth bass anglers found success with larger-profile plastic worms in purple and green pumpkin colors, landing quality fish weighing up to five pounds. Good numbers of bass were also caught on drop-shot rigs, hula grubs, and Senkos worked around points, submerged trees, and along the dam, while deep-diving crankbaits in crawfish and shad patterns produced additional bites. Crappie anglers reported steady action near the marina and around submerged trees using small live minnows, mini jigs, and small swimbaits. Catfish anglers also enjoyed reliable fishing with cut baits, chicken liver, and dip bait.
