Tough fishing across most of what was about the muddiest I have ever seen Lake Tillery, but found bass in cleaner water in a stream above the bridge.

Water temperatures on Tillery remain in the 58-59 degree range in most places below the bridge. Creep up to maybe the 61-62 degree range in the shallow waters up by the dam in the afternoon. The water remains fairly stained, with visibility of no more than 2-3 feet in most places I saw. Given these still colder water temperatures, most of the bass remain out on the primary and secondary points on the main channel. My only success was with a drop shot in 25-30 foot depths. Some guys shared that they were also catching them in 10-12 foot ledges at the mouth of coves. No one reported seeing anything moving into really shallow/ spawning water yet, but it does feel like we are very close.
