As of July 17th, lake capacity was at 77.4%. Mornings are typically foggy and the fog lifts around 9am. Kayaking is best int he morning because the winds pick up in the afternoon. A nice size catfish was caught off the point at the entrance of Santa Cruz Bay on a kids fishing pole with a garlic nightcrawler. 20 Catfish were caught on the back side of Arrow Head Island with mackerel and anchovy. 8 Bass and Crappie were caught in the cove on the left side of Arrow Head Island, bait undisclosed.
