Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydownsPost-spawn fishing at this lake has a couple different populations of fish. One group goes offshore as soon as they're done spawning and the other group sticks around up shallow. Targeting bluegill beds in the shallows is a great strategy, along with topwater in the morning and evening. Fishing around shallow wood is never a bad bet either.

Males are moving up on beds, they're all around the lake. Haven't seen any females moving up yet, but that'll happen in the next couple days. Target them with any bottom bait, can get a few bites on topwater too. Be stealthy because the water is really clear so they spook easily

Bass are spread out, but active. DT6 along the dam is very reliable, as is a senior in shallow grass or pads. Flipping jigs can be good for a big bite.

TroutTechniqueInline SpinnersSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDamWhen they stock the trout in Red House, the best fishing is by the dam. They like to hover over deep water so that's your best bet in April. Try to cover as much water as possible with a moving bait like a spinner. #omniaattheclassic

Bass fishing is very tough here in the summer. Your best bet is to cover the bank with topwater in the early morning/late evening and focus on fishing slow around laydowns or grass lines with jigs, Texas rigs, or weightless plastics like a wacky rig senko. Swim jigs will occasionally produce fish too. Most Bass are good-sized here and there are some giants, so the grind can be worth it.

Trout are difficult to come by, but there is a chance at a GIANT. Caught a 27 inch rainbow through the ice on a jig and plastic and others have caught a few 12-15 inchers. There is also a pretty good chance at catching small Perch or other panfish and a bass if you get lucky. Tip-ups with small minnows or small jigs and plastics/waxies seem to do well for trout. Focus on the deeper water areas by the dam, but keep your bait on the shallow side. If your tip-up is in 10 feet, set your bait to 5 feet since the trout tend to roam a lot. Good luck!
