Catfish are good in 8-10 feet and 35 feet of water. The lake level is still dropping, with about one foot of water left in elevation before the Box Canyon ramp will be closed. Please pray for rain! Have a great day. Report by Captain Kent Terrill, 3 T’S Guide Service. Bass fishing is tough, you have to grind to catch a limit. Find the grass and you find the bass, there are only a few areas with good grass. Punching creature baits and wacky rigs are producing bites. Tight lines! Report by Olin Jensen, Jensen’s Guide Service.
