Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 29)

FAIR. Water stained; 47 degrees; 0.65 feet above pool. Water is off colored up the creeks. The bite is consistent but expect this to change next week with the forecasted warm up. Target fish on structures and grass. Bass are very lethargic and slow to bite. Target stumps in creek bends for the best bite. The water is off colored in the creeks and pockets. Crappie and white bass are moving up the creek channels. Catfish are good in 15-26 feet of water on cut bait and minnows. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
