River Walk Lakes continue to produce solid bass action. Both lakes have been fishing well, especially during the early morning and evening hours. Ned rigs, shad-patterned plastics on drop shot, green pumpkin Senkos, and small flukes have all been effective. The bluegill bite remains excellent on live worms fished under a bobber or drop shot. Anglers are also picking off a few small crappie with live worms and crappie jigs.
