Water levels fell to 16 percent of capacity, and fishing has been fair. Water conditions are improving, but there are still only a handful of anglers getting out to fish. Bass anglers reported catching spotted bass in 10 to 40 feet of water on drop shot, darter head jigs, and Ned rigs. Bass also took crankbaits and spinner baits up a little shallower. Catfish ate dip bait, chicken liver, and garlic scented nightcrawlers. Crappie went after small live minnows and Get Bent Shad Sliders in white and chartreuse. There is a trout plant scheduled for the week of the 19th.
