Look for black bass in feeding areas, boat docks, brush and grass. The topwater bite will be improving as the weather stabilizes, small poppers should be excellent. Look for crappie around brush and retaining walls shallow, small wooly buggers are excellent. Watch for the bream to start moving shallow. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service.
