The lake level is 552.67 and rising very slowly with no generation. They need to start dropping the lake for the winter. Surface temperature is 57 degrees and the lake is pretty clear and you can see your lure down about seven feet on the main lake. The creeks vary from clear to stained almost daily. Open water fishing has been good the last few days with white bass, hybrids and bass moving into the creeks in about 35-feet of water early. It has been foggy most days with the water being warmer than the air except when the cold fronts move through and that is weekly. Crappie, bass, catfish and bluegill are on 25-ft. brush and are coming up to about 10-feet to get the bait. Some very nice fish are being caught everyday. Blackburns has been very busy this fall with people taking advantage of the best prices on both boats and cabins and getting their first boat stall free. Trolling motors are also free on fishing pontoons. All cabins have covered porches and none are duplexes. Spoons, minnows and grubs are the best for crappie with spoons, drop-shot and finesses worms for bass. Spoons are also best for open water fish. A lot of white bass, bass and a few hybrids are hanging out together with an occassional striper and walleye on shad in 35-40 ft. of water suspended. Some bass are on the bank in the evening on steep river channel banks. Fishing overall is pretty good with the lake in excellent condition.
