Bass, crappie and catfish are the best catches again. Most bass were caught with lures or drop shots using Yamamotos set up on a drop shot. The popular lures are Zara spooks, s wavers and flicker shads. Bass are still at the wall with catfish by the dam. We’re still over 70% water capacity, well above the spillway, so no trout plants are scheduled. The fishing derby is coming up in April.
