The lake fell to 85 percent of its capacity. Be sure to stay in the main channel after launching or you will run aground. Trout anglers are anxious for another shot of vitamin T, as most of the rainbows have spread throughout the lake. Dough baits have been the best way to catch the remaining fish. Bass anglers reported large and smallmouth holding in 15 to 40 feet of water. Deep diving cranks, spoons, and drop shot worked to fool fish. Striper fell for cut sardines, topwater, and spooning techniques. Catfish anglers fooled whisker fish with chicken liver, dip bait, and cut baits.
