It was very tough fishing. In the couple hours my fishing partner and I got to fish we were able to find a few solid keepers on deeper points. However no giants.

Claytor is still fishing really good. The water is in the low to mid 50s, the water is pretty clear depending on the area of the lake you chose to fish and shallow fishing has been pretty consistent. Most of my fish have been coming on Rockcrawler or a small jig. Note the days I have been able to go have been overcast and windy which I believe has played a big factor.
