SLOW. Water stained; 62 degrees; 3.05 feet below pool. The nightbite has picked up this week. At the marina the crappie bite is good, and catfish are fair on minnows or punch bait. Bluegill are good on crickets and worms. Crappie are good with fish scattered on the main lake brush in 8-16 feet of water with chartreuse and white or shad color jigs and minnows. Fish have eggs in them, not quite spawning yet. Catfish are good in 3-10 feet of water on drop-offs using chum, jug lines, cut shad or punch bait. Black bass are staging for the spring spawn. Fish can be caught on jigs and slow moving crankbaits in 6-14 feet of water. White bass are fair along drop-offs with minnows or shad from the shore, or anchored on humps with shad and ghost minnows. Hybrids are slow in deeper water using cut shad. Below the dam all species are slow, with no water being discharged. Report by Weldon Kirk, Fish Tales Guide Service.
