Bow fishing is good by the dam and the mouth of Ckarks' early, and the backs of most coves during the rest of the day.

Both largemouth and smallmouth bass tapered off this week and are holding in 15 to 20 ft. of water and are taking drop shot plastics, spinnerbaits and an occasional early morning spook or......
