Spring is here, and the fish are more active in preparation for the upcoming spawning.
Crappie are hitting now near any structure such as downed trees or brush piles. They will be hitting small minnows or doll flies. Bass are being caught off rocky points and around downed trees on live bait and artificials such as spinnerbaits and plastic worms. Anglers should look for points that have some cover such as stumps, logs or weedbeds. Try slow rolling a spinnerbait, bumping off the stumps.
