Water levels are down about 10 feet and the boat ramp is barely submerged. It is unlikely anyone can launch a boat at this time. The shorelines are very muddy due to the receding water. Surface water temps have dropped into the 40s. The road is also in good condition, but may be muddy after recent precipitation. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Streamer and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass fishing has dropped off for the season.
