Bass: DVL bass action has slowed this week most successful anglers have been pounding the shore lines with Senkos, Ikas, brush hogs, and lizards with the 2 pounders being the predominant catch.

The marina has been the top spot for stockers. Holdovers have made appearances on the west dam, east dam, south shoreline, and near restroom 2.
