The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable. Small boats use the center dock, while the taller boats use the right dock.

Renee and I fished a few hours last week, with nine fish to the boat and lost about another 10. Rapalas were the ticket, and the early morning bite was on. After 1 or 2 p.m., the bite turned way down.

One thing I would caution boaters about: stay away from the south end. The water comes up very quickly to only 2–4 feet, and that's still a ways away from the edge of the lake. No need to get stuck.

I talked with a couple of bass anglers who were doing well. Brian and his partner were fishing undisclosed areas. They were told to me, but I did not want to give away their secret holes, as they are tournament anglers.
