[font "Arial"]Millwood[/font][/url][font "Arial"] Lake:[/font][font "Arial"] [/font]Millwood Lake Guide Service said water temperatures are 74 to 83 degrees and the lake is more than eight feet above normal and rising. Largemouth bass, in the three to seven pound class, are excellent on Bass Assassin Shads in glass minnow, gold pepper shiner, bone diamond or Cajun croaker colors, black/bubble gum buzz baits, Spittin' Images and War Eagle white/chartreuse spinner baits, near vegetation, lily pads and grass in four to eight feet depths. Hogg Assassins in black ruby, watermelon/red or june bug are producing keeper size bass at the base of cypress trees using a 1/8 ounce weight with clicker bead around hydrilla. Jigs in black and blue or Texas craw and white/gold head War Eagle spinner baits with silver willow blades are still catching good fish up river. Carolina-rigged lizards in cotton candy, pumpkinseed or watermelon candy are taking nice bass along the washouts of the river drop-offs. Visibility and clarity currently is approximately five to six inches and improving on the main lake. Little River's clarity, which was also improving, is now beginning to stain due to incoming water but the upriver oxbows such as McGuire, Horseshoe, Cemetery Slough and Mud Lake still have much better water clarity estimated approximately three to five feet visibility. Current in Little River is increased this week, due to recent rains, and the discharge at the dam is also increased this week around 1,960 CFS. Channel cats are biting cut bait and chicken livers in the river channel on trotlines and yoyos. Crappie bite also continues improving on live shiners and jigs approximately 12 to 14 feet deep over and in planted brush piles. Bream continue to make beds and initiate spawning activities and are biting crickets and red worms off the banks, with lots of activity around the state park area coves and the boat marina.
