- Feb 25, 2026
- SLOW. Water muddy; 46 degrees; 9.01 feet below pool. Water temperatures in the pockets are 58-62 degrees, and the lake has risen slightly but remains about 9 feet low. A recent cool front is expected to slow the bite for a few days, but fish should soon begin moving up to scout bedding areas. Focus on points and pockets where bass are staging and preparing to transition shallow. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
Zebra Mussel Alert
To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the law requires draining of water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Get details.
