There hasn’t been much change since last week in the fishing conditions. Bass are on beds near structures and hitting on real and fake worms. Crappie are hitting on jigs and meal worms they are near redears, brush and rocky shelves. Drift for trout with night crawls at 50 to 60 feet deep. Power bait is working great for trout too. Bluegill are showing up and hitting on crappie jigs. If you are fishing for carp they are in the shallows use bread or a bow to catch them. Catfish are out there just not hitting ofter. We have a lake closure on Friday die to thunder and lighting storms.
