Claytor is fishing well right now. The issue is finding a better fish. The fish I have been catching have came off stepper banks and points with rock and rip rap. It has been a mix of small mouth and large mouth.

Claytor is starting to fish pretty tuff. Most to the evening wildcat tournaments are only taking about 8 lbs to win. With very little offshore structures it’s hard to find them out on Claytor. I caught several keepers but no much over two lbs mostly on topwater and flipping a baby dnomb in the thickest cover I can find.
