Forecast Contributor Will Schibig, Region III Creel Clerk.Reservoir Conditions: Reservoir elevation stands at 642.2, and Dale Hollow Dam has drawn generation down to 600 cfs per day. Water temperature averages 47 degrees lake-wide but fluctuates depending on weather and clarity. The water clarity is between 10-15 on the main lake, and 3-5 on the creek/ river arms. Use caution on the Obey River arm for floating debris.Bass: Fishing is great. Limits of over 20lbs are still being caught by anglers every day. Anglers that are able to get fish to bite utilizing live imaging sonar and Damiki rigs are doing the best. These anglers are targeting suspended bass around baitfish in any pockets or creeks. The fish are suspended in 20-30 FOW. Smallmouth can be caught with jerk baits and swimbaits over treetops in 20 FOW.Crappie: Fishing is excellent. The crappie fishing is absolutely tremendous reservoir wide right now. Anglers are filling limits, and commonly with many fish over 14. Anglers are finding independent crappie suspended over channels in 20 FOW and picking them off with jigs. The most successful anglers are utilizing live imaging sonar. You can still catch limits of crappie on treetops up the river arms in 20 FOW with minnows and jigs, all without having to use live imaging.Walleye: Anglers are starting to target walleye. These anglers are trolling spoons in 20-40 targeting suspended fish. The run up the Obey should be heating up soon. A reminder to stay up to date with special regulations regarding the walleye run on the Obey River.
