BassFishing has been fair.  Focus fishing effort with soft plastics in a green/black/red coloration.  Minnows and spinner baits also work well.  Fishing has been most productive around submerged vegetation in the lake and along deeper drop-offs.  Fish are being caught around vegetation in the lake.
Crappie Fishing has been fair.  Focus fishing effort with smaller jigs or minnows.  Look for structure and do not be afraid to use a spray-on fish attractant. Look for depth changes and schools of baitfish.  
BreamFishing has been good.  Focus fishing effort near vegetation with small beetle spin or fish using redworms, nightcrawlers, and crickets. 
Catfish Fishing has been fair.  Focus fishing effort on the bottom with red worms, liver, and other stink baits.

Fish Attractors
