Davis Lake

9/28/2024 – Fishing reports from Davis have been few and far between as of late, though those that we are hearing have been positive. While the rainbows seem to be starting to bunker down a bit in preparation for winter, the bass are still plentiful. Try working the deep water and long grass with small streamers (#2-8 Clouser Minnows, #6 Fish Whackers, #6-10 Wooly Buggers, and #4-8 Jawbreakers). When you locate some deeper areas, it may be worth it to drop a leech or two below an indicato. Try twitching it periodically as those fish seem to like some movement to their flies.

9/17/2024 – Water levels at Davis Lake have made Lava Flow Campground the only option to launch a boat, though any larger skiff will most likely not be able to successfully make it. Accessing the lake from a paddle board or similar is the best way to fish it currently. In case of high winds, make sure you have an anchor of some sort! This will make it much easier to cast/catch fish.

The bass fishing continues to be quite good, with anglers picking up fish using a multitude of techniques: poppers along the reeds (#6-12) and near structure, leeches (olive or wine, #10-14) and chironomids (#12-16 in red, olive, or tan) under an indicator or stripped have proven successful as well.
