White River area	Top water bite is very good early morning and late afternoon or all day on cloudy days. Cordel redfins and zara spooks and Sammy top water baits in shad colors are producing the best action. Single tail grubs, 3/16 and 1/4 ounces heads with 4 and 5 inch baits in smoke and salt and pepper on main lake points are also producing very well. Jewel 5/16 finesse jigs back in the creeks in brown and purple and peanut butter and jelly seem to be working the best with green pumpkin craw fish trailers in spawing pockets 5 to 12 feet deep. Jewel football jigs in peanut butter and jelly and brown and purple in 10 to 18 feet deep is working best for bass around main lake and secondary points in the creeks.

Lake Taneycomo
Trout	I'm catching some nice rainbows and a few browns on a small rapala in the morning and also swimming a white 1/16 ounce jig. The trout in the trophy area will also take pink or green micro jigs under a float and a zebra midge has also been very good. Below the trophy are from fall creek down, the trout are biting very good on night crawlers or power baits. In the early morning you can catch them swimming a 1/16 ounce jig or little cleo spoon, in line spinners are also good in the mornings.
