Bass Fishing was good on one of the hottest days of the year (July 27)The Lake temperature was in the 80 degree range, Fish were sitting in about 5 to 8 foot of water and right on the bottom near stick ups and laydowns. The Bass were in the 16 inch range but all were released back into the lake right away. But the $10 a day fee for just getting on the lake seems a little steep. But it is a beautiful lake!!!
