The elevation will continue to drop over the summer. The present elevation is 1086 feet above msl. Be careful boating because of fluctuating water levels and watch for floating debris dislodged from changing water levels. There seems to be an abundance of shad currently which may be the reason for the lack of bite. Cut anchovies are still the bait of choice

Stripers comprise most of the catch, and anglers have found success while working spinnerbaits along the shoreline in the early morning. Largemouth bass action has slowed, but a 6.98-pound fish took big fish honors at
