First time to lake.  Partly sunny, 70 degrees, south wind 5-10 mph.  Water 4-5 feet low, slightly turbid (bathing cattle may contribute).  Water temp probably mid 60s.  Surface area appears to be only 60-70% of what full lake would be.  Only cover I saw was a brushpile in the middle of lake, but there could be more (had no electronics).  Pulled several off brush pile and others were scattered, mostly within 10-15 feet of bank.  West end of lake is extremely shallow, but caught a few there at sunset with flukes.  This lake could be much better if full and had more cover.
