GOODTPWD ReportFeb 25, 2026· Water: 60°F· Clarity: stained

GOOD. Water stained; 60 degrees; 1.04 feet below pool. Bass are in a mix of late pre-spawn and early spawning phases, though reduced water clarity has made sight-fishing more challenging. Crankbaits, finesse jigs, umbrella rigs, Neko-rigged finesse worms, and compact soft plastic stick baits will all produce catches. Fishing docks and rocky structure has been the most consistent pattern, with some fish still relating to remaining submerged vegetation. Most bites are coming from less than 15 feet of water as bass continue transitioning shallow. Report by Ander Meine, Bassquatch Fishing. Bass are good in 8-15 feet of water with deep diving jerkbaits around submerged trees or rockpiles was very productive. The white, hybrid, and striped bass are also very active around the river channel edge on the main lake. Report by Tyler Torwick, Torwick’s Guiding Service.
