Definite prespawn bite at Boyd Lake. Water is 8-10' low relative to typical summer levels. First cast of the day along the rock, caught a rainbow trout on the new Storm Deep Wiggle Wart. Caught one more trout in the same stretch. Continued fishing the rock. Dad caught a decent smallie on the same lure. I caught a small largemouth on a jerkbait. Found a stretch where the rock came out into deeper water and started getting bit multiple times on the deep wiggle wart. Casting it right on the bank and slow cranking it out to about 6' was the ticket. All-in-all, had a low 80" limit between the two of us with the largest being a 17" smallie.

Fishing was tougher than expected. Water is coming up super quick due to the inlet being on. Tried all over at different depths with typical evening bite gear - chatterbait, buzzbait, cranks, etc. Only fish I caught was shallow near a mixture of rock and wood. Few other nibbles came on a Rock Crawler worked near the inlet, but didn't connect. Could have been white bass or something smaller. Can't wait for the lake to be full and the true summer bite to kick in!
