They are catching fish – blue cats, flatheads and crappie.

The flatheads and blues are biting on the river on worms, shad and frogs on rod and reel, mostly.

We went yesterday to Four Rivers and three or four of us caught seven or eight in the eight or nine pound range. The big one got away.

We caught about 14 keeper crappie up at Schell the other night by the spillway. Most of them were so little we had to turn them loose. It was fun catching them. They hit late on minnows and jigs.

They are working on Stockton Dam and have divers in the water.

White bass are on the points in the flat areas in 20-25 ft. of water hitting slab spoons, jigs and crankbaits.
