Comments: White Bass are being caught in coves and in the river. Cherokee Landing up to Carter's Landing is good. The bite around Horseshoe Bend and Etta Bend is picking up but still varies day to day. Anglers may catch a lot one day and just a few the next. Crappie is hit-and-miss but can be caught around the docks. The fishing activity is getting better every day.
