Channel Catfish:

Some finding cats drifting the wind-blown flats

Also try prepared baits at the mouths feeder creeks.

Some fish beginning pre-spawn, try some slip-bobbers near rip-rap 3’-5’

Crappie:

.

Long Polin’in the tree roots with anything w/ chartreuse has been working well in the backs of cuts.

Most fish staged waiting temps to get back to seasonal normal. Try the larger tree roots on the 8’ flats.

Channel Catfish:

Crappie:

Smallmouth Bass:

White spinnerbaits w/ small gold blade Split-shotn’ and drop-rig presentations have produced well also.

1/8 black hair jigs and sassy shad style baits have been working on the riprap areas. Watermelon-red-flecked Chompers on the west side of the east baffle-dyke is a good choice.

White Bass:

Wipers:

Bass Assassins in the shad/fleck on _ oz. Heads work well on the flat points above the discharge. Pay attention to wind direction! Early A.M. Surfacing fish will smack a chat/white _ oz. Roadrunner or a small rattletrap.

Some spoonin’ fish can be caught off of the N. end of W. island.

Walleye:

…….Really, use your favorite presentation, deep spooning’ or shallow drifting’ w/ livebait…<big hunkin’ nightcrawler>…or a pork chop will do..

Not always the most productive, but the most fun is a 1/8 oz. grey hair jig slow rolled on some those 11’-15’ main lake humps. 75-150 fish a day for 2 folks is not uncommon…Really….<mostly 16"- 17 3/4" fish>.

Crappie:

Running around with crappie looking for an easy meal.

Some showing up on the dam w/ the gar. Road Runners in white and yellow have produced some fish.

Get those crawlers out and head for Turkey Point.

Some fish have been taken in the 8’drifts.

White Bass:

Wipers:

Try the humps and breaks main lake, spoons and hair jigs have proven best. Release them unharmed not for coon/hawk food. Feeder creek breaks as the water warms.

Yellow or chartreuse 1/16 Roadrunners seemed to work best.Wipers should be showing up on humps any day.Try shad colored Bass Assassins on a 3/8 head !!
