ATHENS — Water level is 4 inches high and fairly clear, stained in the creeks. Water temp in the low 80s.
Fishing guide Jim Brack says bass are scattered along outside grass edges, hitting cranks, jigs and bladed jigs. Some schooling activity on the lake. Crappie fishing has been good around brush piles in 20-25 feet, suspended 10-15 feet down. Jigs and minnows both producing limits.
