Clarity: Clear lake wide

Lake Level: 1066.64 (4.38 ft below full pool)

Weather Trend – We are settling into a great early-summer pattern with mornings in the 60s and highs in the low 80s. The stable weather should keep the current bite going, and the rising lake level is giving fish plenty of options.

What’s Working Right Now

The biggest story this week is that the fish are on the move. We are still finding fish in coves, pockets, ditches, and drainages, but the fish are not staying put. Successful anglers are covering water and looking for active fish rather than waiting on fish to come to them. Early mornings continue to be productive before fish begin grouping up and settling into deeper patterns as the day progresses.

If you’re fishing this week, focus on areas that give fish access to both feeding opportunities and deeper water. Mobility and fresh bait continue to be important keys to success.
