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 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.
