The fishing has been steady. Not red hot, but reliably steady at about 40%.

From boat-side drift eggs & corkies or pink worms
from bank-float & jigs or eggs or drift 2 #12 pink, orange, or metallic blue/patriot corkies
I prefer first light but the summers will bite all throughout the day, best fished when the water is slowly rising.
