The lake is about a foot over summer pool and gin clear from one end to the other. Water temps are running low eighties.
July, August and first half of September are about the same as far as fishing patterns go. Walleye and white bass become harder to locate from day to day, but the summer crappie bite is very good due to the sheer numbers and the depth and width of Lake Shelbyville.
