Anglers have been out by the dozens these past days after the storm.

Lake up about 6ft at the Dam and about 3ft from spilling over. Catching has been more challenging but some anglers have done really well. Bass have been biting on the usual crank baits and swim baits but today anglers were catching bass with night crawlers. One angler caught a 4Ib black crappie, Wow!!. A 171b plus catfish was caught with a night crawler this last Friday. Red ear and Bluegill have been scarce lately.
