Area Lakes Fishing Report
SLOW. Water normal stain; 87 degrees; 0.17 feet above pool. Summer fishing patterns are holding steady. Bass have been slow and scattered. Best options are outside grass lines on windy banks. Jigs and shaky-head worms are working, but you will need to cover a lot of water. Some bass are schooling. Crappie are slow as well. The night bite on deep brush with minnows is the most consistent pattern. Report by Jim Brack,Athens Guide Service.
