Fishing Report

Striper - Rockfish
Striper fishing is great, the stripers are running close to the lake shoreline. They are feeding on the alewife spawn, therefore many are being taken by bank fisherman. The clay or pea gravel points seem to be producing the most fish. The fish are being taken from 33 Bridge area running waters of the Clinch River. The alewife minows are the best bait but shad-shiners or bleugill are also producing good limits of fish. 10 to 15lb fish are being caught regularly.

Bass-Largemouth & Spotted Bass
Bass are being taken on the top water on shallow running baits. Buzz-baits, Sammies, Shallow Running Papalas are top baits for Bass. Several limits are being taken. Smallmouth Bass are being taken on live bait.

Crappie
Crappie are nesting now - a few fish are being caught in brush piles. Night fishing for crappie should be starting any time now. Small minows are the best bait.

Bluegill
Bluegill are starting to be caught on crickets, they are showing up around floating docks, and next to bushpiles or other structures, such as rocky bluffs.

Catfish
Catfish are being caught from bank fisherman. Again live bait is best to use. Some 8-10lb fish are showing up. The limbline and jug fishing should be good by mid May.
