Clarks Hill Largemouth bass fishing is fair. Use spinnerbaits, shad raps and Little Cleos. Stripers and hybrids are good, using roadrunners, large jigs, trailing with silver spoons or trolling with Berry spoons. Crappie fishing is excellent, using minijigs, wobbly eyes or doll flies. Catfish are fair, using worms and cut bait.
Bream are fair, using live worms.
The shallow-water fishing continues to be excellent as far as numbers of fish are concerned. When the sun gets high, slowing down with Texas-rigged lizards and jigs will still produce, but the bite is much slower. Bigger fish seem to be holding along the shallow ledges out from the spawning coves, where Carolina rigs and crankbaits are putting a few good fish in the boat. Keys are stumps, brush, or any cover for them to hold on. Crappie have finished spawning and are suspended along the creek channels in 12-18 feet of water where trolling jigs seems to be the way to go.
