A lot has changed in the lst few days. First the lake is dropping rapidly and is at 562.84 and dropping about 3-1/2 inches a day with continous generation. Surface temperature is 86 degrees. There is a thermocline at 20-feet with a mud line (area of very cloudy water) just above with cold water below. There are a lot of Bass, bluegill and walleye in this area from 19-24 feet. Many undersized bass but some very nice walleye and also many bluegill. Fry of all speces are around cover at this depth attracting the big fish. There are many very small shad and bass that have recently hatched in this area. The creeks are not very clear with a visibility of about 7-feet down but the main lake is pretty clear down to the mud line and then pretty good again in the cold water below the thermocline. Some stripers have gone deeper in 55-60 feet and can be caught on the spoon. Crappie are under docks in the shade but are pretty slow biting. The ones I am catching are recently spawned out and still bloody and roughed up. Big ones. Walleye and bass are the best bite now with spoons for the walleye and soft plastics for the bass. Bluegill have spawned and have moved to cover. All of this typically happens now with no specific pattern but they will move deeper with the thermocline and stay on cover or near it with the bait fish. Some of Blackburns Brush piles are coming into play and will be just right soon. We need the level to get to 560 for the brush fishing to get good. There are a lot of fish out there. Get out early, take the middle of the day off and fish until sundown. You can still get a cabin at Blackburns for $75/day for two people and we have 11 pontoons for you to rent at low prices. Our big pool is open and ready for you to enjoy. Why pay more?
