GREAT. Water stained; 88 degrees; 0.07 feet above pool. Finding a thermocline in 32-39 feet. Catfish have finished spawning and are now scattered throughout the lake, with anglers catching a mix of smaller fish and solid keepers, often alongside bream. Largemouth bass are producing well around docks, offshore structures, and bream beds, with crankbaits and soft plastics working best. Crappie fishing is fair to poor, with fish holding near submerged structures in 15-25 feet of water. Bream are active and bedding, commonly found near shallow docks, grass lines, and almost any structure. Rock structures along the dam and bridge pilings are also holding multiple species. Report by Bradley Doyle, Bradley’s Guide Service. Hybrid stripers are biting well on slabs, spoons, and live bait over flats and drop-offs in 12-30 feet. Check the tooth patches with the Outdoor Annual app to distinguish between white bass and hybrids. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
