Anglers have been bringing limits of planters, as well as some two- to three-pound holdovers, while fishing in shallow water in the backs of Angels and Glory Hole Coves. Throwing spoons such as Kastmasters and Krocodiles in chrome/blue, firetiger or rainbow-trout patterns, and Power Bait and Power Eggs fished on a sliding sinker rig and a 24" leader are the two best set-ups for anglers walking the bank. Trollers should target coves and creek arms close to shore with shad, firetiger, or rainbow-trout patterned lures. Add a piece of crawler for a trailer, or add some ProCure Threadfin Shad scent, to get those hungry trout to bite.  Bass are moving deeper, and can be caught anywhere from 10-60 feet deep right now. On bluebird days the bite has been a little tough, but if there is a little wind or cloud cover the bite seems to be a lot better.
