May 7th Main Lake Water Temp. Lower 60s

The Lake elevation is 3781.04 Storage is 156,000 acre ft.

The Main Lake is clear.

Fishing was very good again this past week. Just about everyone that I talked to over the weekend caught fish.

White Bass are still very good trolling throughout the Lake. Flicker Shad are still the best choice, they are followed by Bandit 200s and Wally Divers.

Jigging with Live Minnows or Berkley Gulp Minnows is starting to work well for Walleye. They are in 8 to 12 feet of water on rock points, mostly on the main lake. Casting the shoreline with Rapala Shad Raps is also still producing on the 'Eyes.

Crappie are moving into shallower water. There were some reports of males caught over the weekend in shallow water with Live Minnows fished under floats. This bite will just continue to get better for the next several weeks.

Smallmouth and Largemouth are staging on secondary points and getting ready to go the beds. The bite was outstanding this past week. There were several patterns producing well. Pitching to shallow cover with Bass Jigs or wacky rigged stick baits, tossing Spinner Baits or ChatterBaits to cover, and dragging Swim Baits close to the bottom all were working well.

Catfish are fair using Danny King's Punch Bait.
