The lake level came up one foot this last week. It is currently at 868 ft. above sea level and 208 ft. from full.  The water clarity is clear in most of the lake with a few areas being a little stained. The water temperature continues to cool with the average being 53-56 degrees.  Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is open with a two lane concrete ramp and a dock.  4wd is no longer needed to launch.  Trout:  Good.  The cold winter weather and freezing temperatures will encourage the fish to follow winter patterns.  The lake has turned and the surface temperature has dropped.  Each year when this happens many of the larger trout will move toward the up in the water column and can be found cruising the shoreline, making them easier for anglers to catch.  Bank anglers have been having luck near the 49-bridge and off of Glory Hole Point.  Fan casting lures and covering water has been a good way to catch a handful of chunky trout.  Rapalas, Kastmasters, Tasmanian Devils and Little Cleos are all good choices.  For those who prefer a less active approach try floating an egg or ball of Power Bait off of the bottom.  Try using a light wire hook and light line to ensure your bait is floating.  Another sure fire way to achieve buoyancy is with a Corky.  Trolling anglers have been a handful of nice rainbow trout.  The fish are near the surface which makes long-lining, leadcore line and side-planers a good approach.   Small Rapalas have been working well.  When trolling a few lines try fishing baits that are similar in action but different colors.  Such as: two J-5 Rapalas, one firetiger and one rainbow trout patterned. Some days the fish will feed on bright colors and other days they will target natural colors. Bass: Good. The fish are in transition and can be found holding in 25-65' water throughout the day.  The recent cold snap has put the fish on more of a winter bite.  They have slowed down and are not as aggressive due to the dropping water temperature.  The best way to catch them is to also slow down.  Try fishing baits that can be crawled across the bottom.  ½ to ¾ -ounce football head jigs work great for this style of fishing.  With a heavy jig you can keep contact with the bottom in deep water.  Be sure to use scent as well.Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
