Yough lake
Hey guys new to this just wanted to say hello to all, also been fishing the lake a good bit this year (once a week) and it has been tough especially for largemouths this year have been picking some up on a finesse jig with craw trailer as of late if that would help anyone! Thanks good fishing to all

Last weekend, walking & fishing from shore my buddy got a 20" LM and an 18" SM bass. Tight, tight, tight to shore! within 5 feet of the shoreline. They were tucked into small boulders. Fish those rocks, and fish them EARLY!

bbb, he was using live shiners. But I imagine if you're using artificials, I'd use flies, but tube jigs would work. And I like mid sized husky jerks.

I have trouble putting my drop-shot rod down....after the topwater stuff is done. Other than in May, I can't seem to get bit on a tube.

glad I couldn't find a partner that wanted to fish in the heat. Spent the day lounging in the AC and working on rods.
