I’d head straight for the dam. There should be fish from the dam to the 172 bridge. Shallow as you can get. I would pitch a bucktail or #5 shad into the rocks.
I haven’t been there since the beginning of the month so I can’t give details. I would expect #’s of fish in the 2-5 lb range and occasional bigger ones. The biggest fish will not move in mass until later.
Fishing was sloooooow, fished 7hours and only two small fish. We threw cranks, jigged and trolled the water was a little dirty. The water temp averaged 46-48 degrees. Sorry the news wasnt a better.
