Bob Sandlin Fishing Report

Jul 17, 2025

FAIR. Water stained; 83 degrees; 0.05 feet above pool. Catching numbers of small bass on points, but the larger bass are slow. Crappie are good on deep timber with jigs and minnows. The best times have been early and late. Channel catfish have been on fire. Big blue catfish are good at night in the flats by deeper channels. Report by Chris Caswell, Lake Bob Sandlin Crappie Fishing Guide. Flyfishing for bass should produce bass with Dock knockers and small clousers around retaining walls. Look for midday shade near boat houses. Topwater patterns in lilies should be good at mid and late day. Catfish are shallow, wooly buggers should work well. Clousers on sunny rocky shores might draw a strike. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie continue to congregate on structure, schooling on timber in 10-30 feet of water. Minnows are preferred over jigs. The quality of fish is phenomenal. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
