GOODTPWD ReportFeb 25, 2026· Water: 53°F

GOOD. Water normal stain; 53 degrees; 0.27 feet below pool. Prespawn bass are feeding heavily. Colder days seem to have bass relating to deep water while warmer days have fish moving shallower for the impending spawn. Crappie and white bass are being caught up the creeks. Catfish are good around big balls of shad. Report by Cade Rudiger, local angler. Bass fishing is picking up, water temperatures are starting to rise back up to what they should be this time of the year. Fish are moving up to mid range depths 5-10 feet, you can tell they have been deep with their white color. It will not be long until the big girls start to move up. Fish can be caught on Texas rigged soft plastics, shaky heads, and small swimbaits on main lake flats bordered by old creek channels or steep drops. Stay safe and wear your life jacket!
