The water is 52-58 depending where on the lake you are and most of the lake has great stain to it. Points leading into creeks and transition areas that go from clay to rock or pea gravel to chunk rock seem to be the ticket. Largemouth and smallmouth are both staging on these areas, especially on bright sunny days.
