Grand: August 6. Elevation is normal and stable, water temperature 85°F and stained. (USACE Lake Level) Striped bass hybrids and white bass good on plastic baits, sassy shad, shad, and spinnerbaits around coves, flats, and points. Largemouth bass fair on plastic baits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures around coves, riprap, shallows, standing timber, and weed beds. Crappie fair on jigs and minnows around brush structure. Comments: It’s hot! Much of the fishing activity has slowed but white bass and hybrid activity remains strong. Play the wind—find a flat or point where the shad are being pushed into and there you will find the white bass and hybrids. Many of the coves are producing activity as well. Best times to go are early and late and the activity may be short lived but furious! Report submitted by Hank Jenks, game warden stationed in Delaware County.
