Stripers are slurping little shad on some days better than others. Small spoons (trout side) crappie jigs on ultra lite tackle 1/8 oz in white chartreuse or a combo. Accuracy and presentation are everything. You must lead the leader of the schools. This is a tremendous challenge for the flyrodder. Flies that are producing right now are the pink crazy charlies. In another month a shad imitation in black and white 2" max.
Monsoons are prevalent in July so take the advantage of early morning cloud cover for extendedtop water action.
For Fly Fishing: Mini clausers - olive and Funny Bunnies good over chum, crazy charlies pink
Conventional: Mini Sassy Shads over schools working well
Trolling: Count Down Rapalas in shad imitation
Fishing Forecast for July & August: Due to higher water levels with runoff fishing is a bit unpredictable. We will update weekly for what is happening. Typically August is a good month with the water being finished coming in and the fish can get into a pattern once the water level has leveled off.
