The surface temperature is 81 degrees in most locations. The elevation of the lake was at 741.4 feet on 9/22/09. This is nearly 1 foot above the normal seasonal level. We have had a lot of rain the past several weeks and the lake is full.
Rain, dove season and college football may be a few reasons the number of anglers being found on the lake is low. Those that are fishing are having mixed results. A few crappie are being caught in deep water areas near some type of structure.
Night fishing for crappie is still the better way to catch numbers of crappie. Bass anglers are struggling to find consistent bass. The better catches are coming from deep water or areas adjacent to the same. Fishing lures requiring a slow presentation is producing more fish than reaction baits.
The number of rockfish being caught is about average with good numbers coming from the upper arms of the lake. Shad is the best bait. Smaller stripers are being caught in areas downstream.
Catfish, bluegill, and white bass are all being caught by those that are targeting them. These species are being caught on the normal baits in all the normal locations.
