Latest Fishing Reports

The water levels are high and stable. And both the largemouth and crappie are loving it. Bass action has been good with soft plastics and swimbaits, although not too many fish over 3 pounds. The crappie bite is currently excellent. Look for structure in as deep of water as possible.
