The lake reached 82 percent of its storage capacity, and bass anglers reported another week of good spring fishing. Many one- to two-pound males were caught along the shorelines, while bigger bass came from deeper water on main and secondary points. Deep-diving crankbaits, Keitechs, and Senkos accounted for the better bass. The trees also proved to be excellent spots for boating a better grade of fish. Rainbows were available to anglers using minijigs, dough baits, and Thomas Bouyants, and were also reported as bycatch by bass anglers throwing thin Senkos. Crappie went after small live minnows, while catfish anglers took advantage of improved weather to land whisker-fish where sandy flats met deeper water.
