The lake is 1,524 feet (92-percent full.) Look for largemouth bass around shad boils: Bagley Flats into the river is a spot to try. The bite can be somewhat current-oriented as well. When more water is released, more current seems to get the fish active. The transition into a good reaction bite has begun, and the main bait this time of the year for bass is a jerkbait. Look for shad boils, although the presence of boils can be hit and miss on a given day. If boils disappear around midday, fish in 30-plus feet with spoons and Alabama rigs.

Typically, largemouth bass fishing is fair to good when the recreational boating pressure is lower, especially at night.

This is also a great place to take the youngsters at night for some sunfish action on one of the many fishing piers.

Try meal worms or night crawlers under a bobber.
