Channel Catfish |
Fair |
17-28 inches |
Look for channel catfish near abrupt channel ledges. Livers, prepared baits, and shad sides can all be effective. |
|

Good |
10-18 inches |
Bass fishing has been good in mornings and evenings along the shoreline. Bass have been moving off shore and holding near the river channel during the day. Try spinnerbaits or shallow running crankbaits along the shoreline and soft plastics or deep diving crankbaits on deep water structure. |

Poor |
8-14 inches |
Most crappie are holding offshore. Look for suspended fish near the channel or woody structure. |
