"Folks are throwing everything; including Senkos, worms, jigs and tubes. Nothing real large is being caught, but the action is very user friendly. Best results have been in the middle fork and south fork areas, with some of the larger spotted bass being in deeper 20 and 30 foot depths."

Torres tipped, "The crappie should be getting ready to spawn in coves with wood in them. Use live minnows or small chartreuse grubs."
