Low water means that anglers are limited to fishing from shore around the dam, or fishing from inflatables or personal watercraft. Weed growth will likely make bank fishing difficult near the dam. Anglers are encouraged to harvest largemouth small than 14-inches while releasing larger bass. Larger bass may help reduce the chance of stunted populations when Hyatt fills again.

The surface temperature on Monday afternoon was 67 degrees near shore and 60 degrees at the dam. Visibility near the dam was only about 6 inches to a foot.
