Fishing at the lower lagoon and at the upper lake has been extremely well. The lower lagoon has been producing some very nice largemouth bass again, lots of 6+ pounders coming out around the shoreline from the campsites to the spillway. They are biting on night crawlers, plastics, swim baits, crank baits, and top water baits. The pan fish bite down at the lower lake is still unbelievable. They bite all morning. All day and most of the night on meal worms wax worms and small bits of night crawlers. Largemouth fishing at the upper lake is still doing extremely well. Shad are the key to catching high numbers of bass. The bigger largemouth seem to be biting around 25 to 30 feet deep. The largemouths are biting in every cove around the lake and pretty much all day. The striper bite is also doing fantastic still. The stripers that are coming out of the boils seem to range in size from 2 pounds to 4 pounds. The buoy line is doing a lot better now and people seem to be catching mid range sized fish to the right side of the buoy line. Near Elizabeth canyon the stripers seem to boil all day long, but it is turning out to be better in the evening than in the morning. This also goes for the largemouth bass as well. They are hitting all over the lake from about 5:00 pm to closing. Dam fishing for the striper has been pretty slow lately unless the stripers come in and boil mid day and that seems to be the only time people are catching them.
