Fishing Report
Lake Lamar Bruce - 3/22/2023 3:23:19 PM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | Cold fronts and rain have hurt the bass bite this week. Jerkbaits, Alabama-rigs, and swimbaits are getting most of the action. Fish have been caught in all water depths so don’t be afraid to vary your presentation to see what they’re going for that day. The 3-5’ depth range is a good place to start. | |
| Crappie | Crappie fishing has been good. Anglers are still catching some quality fish, but numbers aren’t great. | |
| Bream | No bream reports have come in this week, but tightlining worms around structure in 3-8 feet of water should produce some bites. | |
| Catfish | A 6 lb. catfish was caught around the campground, but otherwise catfishing has been slow. A few have been caught out of the small pond. Chicken, redworms and stinkbait are all popular bait options. | |
Water Temp = Mid-50s
