Lake Ray Roberts is 5 inches below normal level and low to mid 80"s water temperature. Largemouth bass fishing is good early around the shallow willows on topwaters and buzzbaits. We are starting to see some schooling of small bass in a few areas mornings. Soft plastics is still the best producer for me with Yum dinger 4" junebug color and Yum Houdini worm 4.75 inch in junebug or any green color working well. Rigging these split shotted, Texas rig, and shakey head are all working.
Sand bass fishing is very good this week with strong schooling action most mornings. Good keeper size fish are showing up more and more with the little ones. This action is only going to get better in the next few weeks. These schooling fish can be caught on any kind of small topwater you want to throw. We are catching the most keepers on Cotton Cordell 3/4 CC Spoons chrome with a Flies-By-Night fly tied 14 inches above the spoon. Some times jiggin it on the bottom under the schooling fish and sometimes casting it and bringing it back with a steady retrieve under the schooling action. Best areas to look are southwest of Wolf Island, around Cates Point and from the dam to the marina on the flats.
Have fun fishing,
Tim
