Fishing for nearly any species is pretty good on Priest.
Bass - can be found in several stages. You can catch them from supper skinny water out to 20ft on ledges. Fish on being caught on a variety of baits, Cranks, Series 3 in Sexy Shad has been hot, Rattle traps are always a good bed and Spinnerbaits. I have been using SWL chart/white in a single colorado blade for shallow fish around shoreline brush. I have also been whack'ing them on a Chompers football jig from 3ft to 20ft of water. I had 2 limits of keepers last Saturday. It won't be long bass will be on beds, be kind and catch-n-release.
Crappie - crappie are being caught from 2ft to 15ft of water. I have been catching most of mine in about 5ft of water on minnows. I had 3 last Sunday over 14" Most of my fish are coming off brush piles and a few around floating docks near shallow water.
I have even caught a few catfish, hybrid, stripe, and yellowbass. I have also caught 2 bluegills that were really good size.
Water clarity remains muddy up lake, stained mid-lake and a slight stain the closer you get to the dam. Water temps range from 54 on the main lake to 60 in some of the shallow pockets.
