Water levels are low at Willow Beach making the boat launch inaccessible to some vessels. Shore anglers and kayakers are still having luck landing striped bass up to 12 pounds. The rainbow trout bite is expected to pick up with the cooler weather. PowerBait and worms are the go-to baits this time of year. Anglers are finding good action for black bass and stripers at the south end of the reservoir. Largemouth are biting soft plastics in the shallows. Smallies are taking walking baits in the early morning. For a striper bite, look for coves holding shad. Crankbaits and topwater lures in shad patterns will attract the fish in those areas.
