Forecast Contributor Will Schibig, Region III Creel Clerk.Reservoir ConditionsCenter Hill Dam is generating, on average, 5,000 cfs per day. The reservoir elevation is 644 and holding. Surface water temperatures are between 63-66 degrees reservoir wide. Water clarity is clearer by the dam and more turbid mid-lake up (~5). The moon is waxing currently and is expected to be at full moon next week.Bass- Fishing is good. The bass are in all stages of pre-spawn, spawning, and post-spawn. The best way is to go down main creek banks that consist of flat rock, wood, and gravel and fish slowly with finesse presentations like wacky rigs, Neko rigs, or floating worms. Smallmouth are mostly post-spawn and can be caught on swimbaits or topwater around main lake gravel points in 5-15 FOW.Crappie- Fishing is good. Most crappie should be post-spawn, and will either be around the timber they spawned on or moving towards the creek channels to feed on bait.Sunfish- Fishing is good. Redear and bluegill can be caught around flooded timber and on gravel banks. Live bait or jigs is the best option.
