It looks like we are going to have a low water year since our lake is considered to be full at 7.50 feet on the scale it is measured by and we currently are at .95 feet. That's a long way to go to get full in a short amount of time left for our rainy pattern. Fishing will still be good, they have to eat and there are plenty of fish in the lake. The low water will effect where and how the fish spawn, they will be more exposed and low water will also have an effect on more weed growth in the lake.
Currently the water clarity is very good in the lake and the fish are schooling up and starting to get a little more active. Water temperature has been around 47 to a high of 51 on the warmer afternoons. The typical arsenal of baits for this time of the year are working, fish are being caught on reaction baits such as deep diving crankbaits, under spins, Alabama rigs, and lipless crank baits such as the LV 500 by Lucky craft. On the finesse side, the drop shot, ned rig, and jig's are producing. With some recent warm weather, the lake was really busy on the weekend. The fisherman who like to target the crappie have been hitting the lake hard and so far there seems to be only one really hot spot that everyone is concentrating on. You have to stay on the move to have success in catching, once you find them you can usually catch several in one area. With the Covid thing slowly getting somewhat under control, it looks like it will be a busy year for the lake. If you are looking to book a guide trip, book early, and also the tournaments are in full swing for this year so try to fish during the week if you can to avoid all the traffic on the weekends. That's it for now, stay safe and stay healthy, God Bless, Bob
