Claytor is fishing alright. Like normal Claytor numbers aren’t the problem it’s finding a better quality. However, a lot of solid keeper fish are shallow. The water is in the high 40’s and clear. The weather was overcast and while I didn’t catch any giants ( as you can tell by the picture) I was able to find a few solid keepers in a short time cranking a rock crawler and shad rap. I do believe the weather was helpful.
