Lake Jocassee:

• Trout: Fair. Best results continue to come trolling minnows and spoons in 80 to 90 feet in the big water around the dam and up the rivers.
• Black Bass: Tough. Look for topwater action early in the morning using Zara Spooks or Rebel Pop-Rs and try to find fish busting bait the rest of the day.
   

Lake Keowee:

• Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Good. Use topwaters like Spooks, Sammies, or Pop-Rs to try and bring fish to the surface, and once surface schools are located throw lures like Rattle Traps that get very good distance.
• Crappie: Fair. The crappie bite is beginning to improve slightly, and fish are being found around brush in 8 to 12 feet of water.
   

Lake Hartwell:

• Largemouth Bass: Fair, using 5 to 6-inch lizards, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, topwater lures, and Trick worms fishing off points. Best catches reported at dawn and dusk Also try fishing in coves.
• Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good, using umbrella rigs also live herring with down-rods in deep water around river channels 15 to 30 feet deep. Trolling activity has increased, try depths of 15 to 25 feet of water. Schooling activity on the lake has increased.
• Crappie: Fair to good, using small minnows, grubs and small jigs. Fish are moving into deeper water around brush piles.
• Catfish: Good, using cut herring, large shiners, nightcrawlers, shrimp and chicken livers on the bottom.
• Bream: Good, using redworms and crickets under boat docks and bridges.
