Recent reports have been encouraging as fish in the 12-16 inch range have been caught. Trolling a wedding ring/worm behind an oval egg sinker and dodger has produced fish. Anglers were also successful trolling around the dam and throughout the lake below Peyton Bridge. Storm runoff had increased turbidity in the upper part of the lake but fish are biting closer to the dam.
