The lake is at the summer level. White bass feed on minnows at dawn on the surface and can be seen breaking water in the coves. Spinners, crank baits, and casting spoons are good baits for white bass. Fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass using crank baits or tube jigs in 10 to 20 feet of water along the shoreline. Walleyes will be scattered throughout the lake in 30 to 50-feet depths. Night fishing success for channel and flathead catfish has been good for the past month.

There are lots of walleyes and trout in the tailwater. Large brood trout have been stocked this week. Walleye fishing is best during higher flows (1,500 to 5,000 cubic feet per second) and trout fishing is best at low flows (less than 1,000 cubic feet per second).
