The bass action has really come on this past week with anglers catching and releasing a 7-pound, 5-ounce fish and several in the three-pound range. Many of the bass were taken using a small rubber grub on a jig head, but a variety of other bass lures also worked well. The water levels came up with the storm action of a week ago and fish such as crappie and trout are also being taken over most of the lake. A free family fishing derby will take place at the reservoir for Free Fishing Day on Saturday, June 13 from 8 a.m. to noon.
