The fishing has, indeed, been terrific, mainly for bass and pickerel along with some crappie, and sunfish are beginning to come on strong.
Fishing is reported to be slow here, with only a few bass and crappie reported caught.
A few small stripers were taken at Lake Meade and bream fishing is picking up. Although I have no reports from Western Branch or Lake Prince this is the time of the year for the shellcrackers to be hitting. Mike Johncox at the Riverside Camp said large blue catfish provided excitement for a few anglers this week. Speaking of herring, the fishing for this species at Walkers Dam is excellent with Sabiki Rigs being the more popular lures. Crappie fishing has been good and Mike says the bluegills are coming on.
