Fish grass edges with a buzzbait in early mornings, it will be a slow bite but these fish are very spread out and picky right now. You can use a frog fairly successfully as well, make sure to work it fast and pause once in awhile. A black frog worked best for me but I did not mess with color changes much

Structure Jigs
Structure
Submerged Vegetation
Fishing the outside grass lines in the creeks and the main lake. Fishing a jig on the deeper outside lines will get some bites. If it's high sun try flipping into the grass, but if there's wind focus on the outside lines.

Lot's of fish staging on the edges of the milfoil right now. Flipping the edges of the grass where there are holes can produce quality bites. Find grass where the current is the strongest.

Rock Pile
Find rocks creating current breaks. The more current pulling the better it is. Using a variety of soft baits and letting them drift with the current. Use very light weights or no weight at all. The natural slow fall of the bait will produce a lot of bites.

Launched from Scotty's, trout dock and water was clear down past the landing then became very muddy all the way to the dam. Top water bite was non-existent, tried frog(s) and buzzbait in many areas with no luck. Most grass was blown out. Went up in Bull Creek on the left side and started using the 12" worm, caught 2 over 3lbs and a few shorts. No current from day light until noon! Looked like the level had dropped about 1-2ft. from the night before.

Tied up some number 16 scuds on a Hayabusa size 16 Fly 384 and drifted them in the trophy area while they were running water this mornin. Caught 30 -40 in 4 hours with one bumping the 20” range and several in the 17-19” range. Fun morning on the river. Still have some openings in January and February and it’s a great time to be on the water. SoMo Fish Co 417-838-3122
