Lake level is 715.12 and falling with water temp in the upper 80's in the lower part of the lake.  The mid lake area is  lightly stained and some areas are pretty muddy.  Crappie fishing has been pretty good this past week as all my clients got their limits.  The hybrid fishing was pretty tough as the live shad prevailed over a sassy shad imitation, but we did manage a few.
