White River Area Fishing has been exceptional the past few days.  Jewel Football jigs in peanut butter and jelly and brown and purple in 15-25 feet deep is working best for bass around main lake and secondary points in the creeks on the outside edge of the flooded timber.  Some fish are also starting to hit plastic baits, carolina rigged centipedes and brush hogs on outside edge of flooded timber on gravel points in 15-18 feet of water.  Early in the morning and on cloudy days, Zara Spooks and Cordell redfins are working good at catching fish that are schooling on the surface.
Mid Lake-Kimberling City Area Fishing has been exceptional the past few days.  Smoke grubs and salt and pepper grubs with a 1/4 oz, jig head on main lake and secondary points are producing alot of numbers of bass.  Jewel Football jigs in peanut butter and jelly and brown and purple in 15-25 feet deep is working best for bass around main lake and secondary points in the creeks on the outside edge of the flooded timber.  Some fish are also starting to hit plastic baits, Carolina rigged centipedes and brush hogs on outside edge of flooded timber on gravel points in 15-18 feet of water.  Early in the morning and on cloudy days, Zara Spooks and Cordell Redfins are working good at catching fish that are schooling on the surface.

Trout I'm catching some nice rainbows and a few browns on a small Rapala in the morning and also swimming a white 1/16 ounce jig.  The trout in the trophy area will also take pink or green micro jigs under a float and a zebra midge has also been very good.  Below the trophy are from Fall Creek down, the trout are biting very good on night crawlers or power baits.  In the early morning you can catch them swimming a 1/16 ounce jig or little Cleo spoon, in line spinners are also good in the mornings.
