The lake level remained steady at 78 percent of the lake’s storage capacity, and water temperatures fell into the upper fifties and low sixties. Anglers reported a fair to good bite for all species. Smallmouth and largemouth were the best bets for anglers fishing the 15 to 30 foot zone with drop shot, Carolina rigs, and shaky heads in green pumpkin, purple, and brown colored plastics. Bass anglers also reported a developing spoon bite for deeper fish. Striped bass chased down trolled umbrella rigs, small swimbaits, and streamer flies in about 50 feet of water over main lake points. Catfish were reliable in the coves east of the marina. The first trout plant went in at the west ramp and anglers lined the shore for limit style fishing. The rainbows took Panther Martins, Kastmasters, dough baits, and tube baits.
