Lake level at the dam is 131.4′ with a discharge of 11,000 cfs. Lake level at Riverside is 131.8.

The lake is on a slow rise following recent local rains and new water coming down from Dallas area.

Overall fishing slowed the past few days for all species. Upper lake creeks turned off color. The river at Riverside is off color.

White Bass fishing slowed in Harmon and White Rock creeks.  The slow rise should send the Whites far up the creeks to spawn in the next week or so.

Some nice Black Bass were caught in Carolina and Newton creeks on crawlfish crank baits and jigs worked around boat houses.

Before the front Crappie were shallow on the banks.

Blue cats good on trot lines baited with shad in the River.  Jug line fishing good in Bethy and Carolina creeks.

Good luck fishing.

Water temperature in upper lake creeks is 55 to 58′.

Overall fishing slowed following the recent cold snap.  River channel near Riverside remains off color. Mid lake and lower lake clearing.

Lots of small White Bass in upper lake creeks biting green jigs and 1/4 oz. Tsunami Cocktails near sand bars.  Larger males and a few big females caught in deeper holes 6 to 10′ on trolled 1/4 oz white twister tail jigs.

Before the cold snap Crappie fishing turned on in White Rock and Harmon creeks.  Some really nice Crappie caught recently  on live shiners near wood in the cut banks fished 4 to 6′.

Blue cats slow on drifted shad lower lake. Good on jug lines baited with fresh shad drifted in Bethy and Carolina  bays.

Black Bass slow.

The cold snap the past few days slowed the fishing down as it was really heating up. The bite for all species will rebound with the next warming trend.

The white bass are moving up in the creeks with mostly males being caught on slow worked jigs in the deep holes near sand bars.

Largemouth bass fishing improved with warming water temps. coming out of Kickapoo Creek on June Bug Baby Brush Hogs.

Crappie slow with mostly short fish coming 6′ near bottom.
