Shore anglers are finding good action at Lunker Cove and Turkey Point. Fish are hanging deeper, so get your presentation down to 18–25 feet. Trolling the west side from the narrows to the dam is productive with Dick Nites or Needlefish in pearl bikini, cop car, and rainbow trout colors. Slow presentations have been key in the warmer water.
