Meredith-GREAT. Water stained; 81 degrees; 43.89 feet below pool. Bass fishing is good, with sand bass being caught all over the lake - gray or pink jig-heads with red eyes paired with pearl blue or pearl white grubs are producing well. White jerkbaits, rattling shad, and minnows have also been effective for both largemouth and smallmouth. Catfish action is great, especially around Harbor Bay and Bugbee, with shrimp, frozen shad and cut bait working well; some are even being caught off the docks. Crappie fishing is fair, with catches coming from the Sanford Yake area, Blue West, and the shallows around Fritch Fortress. Perch and bluegill are biting great under docks and in shallow areas using worms and corn. Walleye are excellent, especially in the evenings and at night, with minnows, bottom bouncers with floating worm harnesses, pearl blue plastics, white or gray crankbaits, and vibrating blades all producing. Trout action has slowed, with fair results at Spring Canyon and the Stilling Basin. Report by Dave Wright, Wright-On Bait, Tackle and Watercraft Rental.
Millers Creek-FAIR. Water stained; 83 degrees; 1.39 feet below pool. Crappie have improved to fair in 3-4 feet of water. Fish are a few weeks from spawning. Sand bass are fair around the dam when shad are surfacing. Shad are spawning so the bite should improve the bite for all species. Channel and blue catfish are slow in 15 feet of water. Bass are good pitching creature baits and plastic worms shallow and hardwoods.
Nasworthy-FAIR. Water slightly stained; 79 degrees. 1.03 feet below pool. The bass bite has been good flipping soft plastics around reed bases in 1-3 feet of water. The spawn is ending and bass are staying in the shallows as the water temperature rises to the 80s. The key is to cover water until you find a good stretch that holds multiple bass. Focus on holes in the reed banks where bass will set up on their beds. Watch for balls of bass fry because a fry guarder will be close by. Crappie were fair around main lake boat docks on chartreuse jigs and catfish were fair on cut bait and stink bait around river channel bends. Report provided by the Angelo State Fishing Team.
O.C. Fisher-SLOW. Water stained; 85 degrees; 29.17 feet below pool. Few reports and anglers fishing due to low lake levels.
O.H. Ivie-FAIR. Water temperatures 81 to 83°; 15.91 feet below pool. Lake is leveling off and there is still a fair top water bite in the shallow flooded Green Salt Cedars. Topwater frogs working best, or a Whopper Plopper white or grey belly. Some bass are being caught on small swimbaits and 12-15 feet of water in drains and pockets slowly rolled off the bottom. Bass reported to 6.5 pounds. Crappie are slow but they are being caught if you can work and move around to various trees in the clear water mid to Lower Lake. Minnows best around deeper trees. White bass are best at night under lights. Some being trolled down by the dam on crankbaits. Channel catfish and blue catfish are good up the river with cut shad under a cork being the best. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.
Oak Creek-SLOW. Water lightly stained; 85 degrees; 19.76 feet below pool. Few reports due to the fluctuation of water level. Report by Bronte Guns and Tackle Pro Staff.
Possum Kingdom-FAIR. The water temp is steady at 85-87 F; 0.16 feet above pool. Stripers are slow with the best bite on live bait in 20-40 feet of water. Fish are moving fast, so you will have to slowly move around and just pick them off one at a time till you find a good school. Then try to stay on top of the school, which can be extremely tough as they are moving fast. Sand bass are still fair to good in 510 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. Chrome and white seem to be out producing all other colors. Catfish are fair to good. Cut shad is producing fish in 10-20 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers, but not size. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish should be spawning, so it’ll be a little slow for about the next month. Water clarity is 2-6 feet of visibility but slightly stained on the south end. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
Proctor-FAIR. Water stained; 86 degrees; 0.77 feet above the pool. Catfish are good on juglines. Reports of white bass caught trolling in shallow water. Crappie are transitioning to brush piles.

Stamford-SLOW. Water stained; 80 degrees; 0.90 feet above the pool. Still freshwater is coming into the lake. The water current has slowed over the spillway, so this should slow the white bass bite.

Twin Buttes-SLOW. Water stained. 82 degrees; 31.49 feet below pool. Channel catfish are still biting in shallow water in punch bait. White bass and crappie are biting at night under lights with minnows or shad. Report by Captain Michael Peterson, 4 Reel Fun Guide Service.
