Fishing conditions:  Good

Report: The lake should turn over soon and this will bring a lot of trout up near the surface. Bass continue chasing shad balls especially back in the coves and off of points in the Pit arm. Float n' Fly will definitely work in these areas, you can also throw minnow patterns like the Baby Fat Minnow, small Clousers, Beaded Micro Buggers in Grey and White. Fishing deeper with crayfish patterns likewise can be a good tactic. Look for fish to begin pushing schools of shad up into the shallows and be ready with an intermediate line and a shad pattern. October will be a good time to fish the lake!
