Reservoir Conditions: Fishing is fair and the water temperature is 87 degrees. The water level is at 647 feet and the lake is falling.
Smallmouth Bass: A few smallmouths are being caught at night on soft plastics and jigs while fishing points in 20 feet of water.
Largemouth Bass: Several largemouths are being caught on soft plastics while fishing drops in the rivers in 20 feet of water.
Walleye: A few walleye are being caught while jigging spoons on clay banks in 28-30 feet of water.
Trout: A few trout are being caught trolling with down riggers and spoons in 45 feet of water.
