Channel Catfish |
Fair |
16-24 inches |
Some anglers are having luck on warmer days with chicken livers or stinkbait on the bottom. Warmer weather should make fish more active. |
|
Largemouth and Spotted Bass |
Fair |
10-22 inches |
Fish are cruising the shallows on warm afternoons and feeding. Try spinnerbaits or crankbaits along rocky banks. |
|
Crappie |
Poor |
8-14 inches |
Some fish have moved shallow to spawn. Look for them in the backs of coves on firm substrate. |
