​

Fishing conditions at Weiss Lake remain fair as anglers work to beat the late-summer heat. Water temperatures are currently around 72–78°F, and while bass activity has slowed due to the warmer waters, crappie remain active in deeper structures.

​

Current Conditions:

• Water Temperature: 72–78°F, keeping warm-water species active

• Lake Level: Normal operating range

• Weather: Partly cloudy, highs near 87°F, winds averaging 2 mph

​

Bass Fishing:

Bass are holding to deep roadbeds and main lake points, following a typical late-summer pattern. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits are producing the best results. Fishing is currently fair to tough due to the heat, but anglers can expect improved action as water temperatures begin to cool.

​

Crappie Fishing:
Crappie are concentrated on deep brush piles and creek/river channel ledges. Anglers using spider rigging with live minnows over these areas are seeing the best catches. Like bass, crappie fishing should improve as water temperatures drop in the coming weeks.

​

Tips for Anglers:

• Focus on deeper areas of the lake where fish are more active.

• Use live minnows to entice crappie.

• Target bass along roadbeds and points with crankbaits or spinnerbaits.

• Fishing often improves when turbines are running, so plan trips accordingly.

​

With consistent attention to water temperature and structure, anglers can still enjoy productive trips to Weiss Lake despite the late-summer heat.
