The Lake rose to 35 percent of capacity with water conditions similar to chocolate milk. Anglers reported fair fishing with spotted bass falling for finesse baits in 15 to 60 feet of water. Drop shot and darter head jigs both took fish for persistent anglers. Anglers who used their electronics located very deep schools of bass which fell for vertical spoons like War Eagles, Sonars, and tail spins. Catfish ate chicken liver, dip bait, and garlic scented nightcrawlers.
