In 1992, we caught bass here on March 28-29, April 4 and 5, April 11 and 12. In 1993, water levels were very low due to flooding downstream. It was a very cold spring and April 10 water temperature was only 39 degrees. It was slow but bass could be caught. Fish the weeds at the downstream entrance of boat basin beginning in late july with fishing peaking in October.
Big bass hide in weedbeds.
This requires more research, however. Tubes are also good. Smallmouths start biting well in the reservoir during the first two weeks of April. Find them on inside and outside rock points of major bays in from 12 to 35 feet of water. Also try big rock pile in front of burning bluff.
