The lake fell to 25 percent of capacity, and crappie have been the best bet at the lake. Crappie anglers used small live minnows and green and white minijigs for bites. Bass anglers reported tough fishing conditions, and we’re still waiting for the lake to stabilize. We’ll report as soon as the bite kicks off.
