Only caught dinks all day, but we caught about 50. Rained off and on. Water was super clear, probably 6' visibility, which is quite good for this lake. Had a good time

Water temperatures in the 60s these fish are spawning in all stages. Find groups of fish against the rocks on the dams or shore line feeding on crayfish. Bounce those ned rigs right up by the rocks to get bit. Lots of small fish but you do land some nice ones.
