There have not been any recent reports, but perch and crappie fishing should be good. Try fishing closer to dark as feeding activity increases. Targeting crappie and yellow perch with plastics and bait is a good tactic to catch these fish. Bass fishing has been slow with increasing temperatures. Fishing from the bank is possible, but using a boat or other floating craft will give an angler access to the most productive fishing spots.
