Ray Sowell with some nice ones.
The lake level is 554.51 and has dropped 2.2 inches in the last 240hours with both generators running about 2/3rds the time. The White River at Newport is 21.67 ft. and has leveled off. The surface water temperature is 53-degrees but not for long with the upcoming cold weather. The water is stained a little light brown with the fairly heavy generation in both the creeks and on the main lake. The lake overall is in good condition and at a good level but the fishing is just fair. Scuba Steve is catching a few good fish everyday and the best fishing is from sunset until just after dark. He is catching Crappie, Bass, Bluegill and a few Stripers and is using the Bink's Spoon, small grub and minnow and minnow on a slip float. and is fishing in about 25-30 feet of water on Blackburns Resort and Boat Rental's Brush piles about 16-feet down.
