Anglers are finding the best fishing from boats.  Pencil poppers and Rat-L-Traps in silver and blue are catching the attention of striped bass holding in deeper water.  If fishing from shore, you may want to find a cove with a drop off.  Smallmouth bass are hanging out in coves between Cottonwood Cove and Telephone Cove while catfish have been found in grass beds not far from shore.  They are hitting mostly on anchovies.
