Claytor is still fishing solid a lot of rain today. No giants today but several solid ones. All the fish I caught where on moving baits. Most of them came on a swim jig around lay downs in future spawning pockets. The water is slightly stained and the temp is around mid to higher 50s.

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.

Claytor is fishing pretty well. A lot of fish are going on bed. The main lake is muddy however back in creeks and deep pockets is clear. Most bite today came pitching and flipping a Berkeley General on a 3/16 oz weight.
