The lake has warmed somewhat and the Spots are moving into the shallows to spawn. Fish are coming to Float N' Flys and Balanced Leeches. Fish towards the banks with a crayfish-colored Balanced Leech or a Shad Float N' Fly and watch for your indicator to tip. A sinking line fished toward the shore so you can bounce a crawdad pattern down the banks will also be effective. Bounce a Concussion Cray, Jiggy Worm or Grim Reaper on the rocks and the spots will swoop it up.

Hot Flies: 

Wooly Buggers
Float-n-Flies
Dead Drop Minnow
Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
