    White bass are running real good right now. Couple weeks ago they were around Maribone and now they're catching a lot right around Burkesville and they're catching some up at Crocus Creek.

    The river is a real good green clear color. It's been up a bit in the mornings...gravel bars up and exposed by afternoon and wadeable.

    Some real good catches of trout coming in. We've had several browns this week, over 20" and at least 3 that I know of. Seen pictures of a lot of rainbows.

    River is making a real good comeback since they're done working on the ****. Only about 3 1/2 foot from having the **** level where they want it so generations should get back to like they were just 10 years ago. Just a normal rise and fall everyday.

    White bass are real good right now...spinners, blue fox, blade baits, rooster tails, night crawlers ... just about anything you want to through for the white bass.

    Biggest brown I've seen is about 24 inches. It was caught on a crawfish colored shad wrap.

    Striper reports are thin just due to the fact that nobody's pulling big bait boards that I know of. I'll let you know when I hear of stripers being caught.

    As far as conditions, it's boatable and wadeable in the afternoon. Been that way for a couple of weeks. Just don't get much better condition wise. Good Fishin!
