### Lake Conditions
The lake's elevation is currently normal and stable, sitting at 632.17 feet as of the last reading on September 29. The water temperature is a comfortable 76°F, and the water is clear.
### Weather and Time
Today, you can expect a pleasant day with mild temperatures. Sunrise was at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 7:00 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy, making it an ideal day for fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday's report indicated good activity for several species. Bass, including largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass, were active and biting well on crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures around coves, docks, points, and shorelines.
Catfish, both blue and channel, were also active, responding well to chicken liver, shad, and worms around the main lake and points.
Crappie, though a bit slower, were still catching attention on hair jigs, tube jigs, and worms around brush structures, docks, and the main lake.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, stick with crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures. Catfish are biting well on chicken liver, shad, and worms. For crappie, hair jigs, tube jigs, and worms are your best bets.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is around the coves and docks, especially where there is plenty of brush structure. The points and shorelines are also producing good results. If you're targeting catfish, focus on the main lake and points. For crappie, the areas around docks and brush structures are worth exploring.
### Additional Tips
Remember, crappie must be at least 10 inches in length, and you can catch up to 15 per day. Private resorts in the Burnt Cabin, Caney Creek, and Tenkiller State Park areas operate fishing dock concessions, providing easy access to the shoreline.
With these conditions and tips, you're set for a great day of fishing at Lake Tenkiller. Enjoy your time on the water
