People are catching fish in 40-50 feet of water. Small tube jigs with Elevation tinsel jigs are working well with strips of sucker meat. Also, some anglers are having success with finicky fish by jigging small tungsten jig heads and wax worms.
Bite is hot early morning and fluctuates throughout the day. Try aggressive techniques lifting your tube jig up high and letting it drop, or slow movements thumping it off the bottom till they come in. Don't be afraid to change from larger baits to small baits throughout the day as the bite changes. Use bright colored, glow, or white color plastics tipped with sucker meat, and or salmon egg.
The key is to move often, go where there is less pressure, and find the path the fish feed on along ridges. Visit the dynamic maps section to locate boat ramps and access points to get to the lake safely. Some of the more productive areas can also be found on the map.
