Comments: White Bass fishing is excellent below the dam! Seems like spoons have worked the best. Fish slower pockets of water. Slower water below the dam has been good for crappie as well. Try to get your jig or minnow as close to the bottom as possible. Paddlefish is still good up near lowwater but anglers are having a tougher time catching them below the dam. Catfish bite is still hot with flooded coves doing well. Flatheads are starting to be caught below the dam as well on live shad and sunfish.
