Total Fish/Sizes : 30 with 25 culls
Lures Used : Underspin, Magmum Worm and Half & Half Fly

Lake is full pool and looks great. Surface temp was 65 degrees. I alternated fishing large soft swimbaits with an underspin, magnum worm and large lizards with small soft swimbaits and a fly rod. I found all the little males, harvesting 25 between a small soft swimbait and a fly rod with a half and half. At one point with fly rod the fish kept getting smaller and smaller with each cast until they looked like fingerlings. Returned 5 with none above 3 lbs. All the fish we’re caught on the East side of the lake as this was where the wind was pushing the bait fish.  I missed the big girl at 7:00 when she came completely out of the water and shook the hook free near the small boat ramp.  It was over before it started. I’ll be going back soon to see if I can keep her on the next time.
