Claytor is fishing decent right now. Bites are plenty, however size is can be hard to find. The water is very clear and the water Temperature is mid to low 60s. Most bites came on a popper and tx rigged 3 1/2in tube.

Claytor is producing big numbers of fish right now. The problem is, it is not producing much size. The best chance for big fish is to look for beds. However, if your goal is just to catch average size keepers all day then I would recommend topwaters, smaller jigs, tubes, flukes (double fluke rig), and other spring favorites for clear water. My keepers came on jigs and the double fluke rig.
