Water levels at McClure seem to be stabilizing as they reach towards peak capacity. This consistency has been good for the bass bite.

No notable quality fish have been reported; most fish are in the 1-2 pound range.

Bass

Water temperatures have been up and down, but consistent warmer weather this week should improve all fishing. Spotted bass is still the most active species at the moment. Anglers are still using the finesse tactics mentioned in our last report. A few largemouth have been caught as well.

Spotted Bass

Spotted bass are starting to move into the shallows. Small swimbaits and drop shots are getting the most action, although not for much size. Crappie are holding deep, but can still be caught jigging.
