LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 59 degrees; 16.27 feet above pool.

Crappie action is slowly improving on brush and timber in 12-20 feet using minnows. Bass reports are light, but a few are moving shallow on warmer afternoons and hitting spinnerbaits and squarebills around rocks. Wind can make the lake choppy, so use caution.
