Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Skip trout fishing for now due to warm water. Instead, focus on catfish and bass. Try the backs of coves if fishing from shore, or head over to the Jackson Creek arm and fish from the bank. Use strong-scented baits like chicken liver, squid, stink baits, anchovies, or mackerel.
Changes We’re Seeing
Trout fishing has slowed significantly as water temps have warmed, but bass and catfish action has picked up.
Predictions for Next Week
Trout bite likely to remain slow until cooler conditions return, but bass and catfish should continue to provide solid action.
