    Claytor fishing is still real tuff. I fished today 5 till dark and was able to catch a few. However, size wasn’t much. All fish came on a popper style bait. I would recommend playing with the speed of the retrieve . Most fish came on a very fast retrieve.

    Claytor is still fishing tuff. However, if you can manage to get out on a day with cloud cover or rain like yesterday fishing is better. I was able to catch a good number yesterday but the size wasn’t great. The biggest fish ( 2.5 lbs ) came on a spook style bait. Most fish came on a megabass vision 110 jr.

    Claytor is fishing pretty tuff. However, if you are able to go early or late in the day the topwater bite has been pretty good. I have caught fish skipping a frog around dock.
