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 fishing tuff. You can get some bites on topwater and pitching around heavy cover. Like most lakes the bite is best during morning and evening. Also if you are able to go at night it can be productive.
