|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Good | 6-12" | Crappie fishing is good. Some fish have started to move into the shallows to spawn. Look for fish in the shallows in the weeks to come. Minnows and small plastic jigs have been working best. |
| Channel Catfish | Fair | 16-24" | Catfishing has been slow. Look for fish to move into the shallows on warm days. Also target the windward side of the lake for best results. Shad sides are the preferred bait. |
