At McClure, folks are finding quality bass action deep. Fish are keyed in on rock structure from 20 to 50 feet, but the best quality is coming from deeper ledges in the 40 to 50-foot range. Jigs and Neko rigs are doing most of the damage, with fish tight to slate rock and hitting on slow presentations. Sonar and LiveScope have been extremely helpful. Shallower areas in 20 to 25 feet, especially saddles and narrow coves, are holding numbers... but they are typically smaller than the deeper fish. Shaky heads and drop-shots are working well in these mid-depth areas. The topwater bite was very good a couple of weeks ago, although it’s cooled off some. Still, overcast mornings are seeing a window of very good surface action.

There’s still some trout in 45 to 60 feet of water, although it’s inconsistent. Blade crawler combos, spoons, and spinners are getting a few here and there. The crappie bite has been very good lately on small cranks and jigs.
