Lake Evergreen / Bloomington


Both Lake Bloomington and Evergreen are at there highest levels in years. 

Both are running a respective 6-8" over the spillways but fishing still 

remains hot.  Most bass are still shallow but many have moved into post-spawn 
 
and are holding near spawning areas in 8-12 feet of water. Suspending Lucky  

Craft Pointers 100 and 78's seem to be the hot baits and some fish are being  

caught on Carolina rigs on 3/4 to 1 oz weights with a 2-3 foot leader and  

watermelon Gambler Bacon-bits or Bacon Frys are picking up these fish. Slow 
 
methodical retreives seem to working the best. Water color is stained in the  

upper ends and clear near each of the respective dams.  Spinnerbait and  

flipping fish seem to still be in the creeks in the flooded grass. Scents  

like BANG Garlic are helping during the muddy conditions and those fish 
 
caught shallow have been caught on tandem willow Pro-Series Gambler  

spinnerbaits and a myriad of "cosmic" colored trick worms.....Zoom and  

Gambler seem to be the best choices. Several anglers are beginning to catch  

fish on the Gene Larew Ring Tube and Hoo Daddy....watermelon or pumpkin with  

Chartruese dip it........Remember....Post Spawn can be a tough time of year  

but if you find a group of fish stay with them and you can catch a boat load!
