I'm very sad to report that because of my career (USCG) I missed an awesome spring on Lake Anna. I left about midway through the prespawn before the  Elite 70 event that was held there. shout out to the guy who got me into this wonderful sport and won the event with an awesome 24 pound bag. Anyway i'm happy to say I will be back on the water soon and was wondering what the lake seems to be doing right now. Water temps, reports, water clarity, anything that your willing to share that would help me piece together a game plan for when I do finally make it out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As of almost two weeks ago the surface temps in the old river arm were approaching the 80 degree mark, lightly stained at the splits to stained in the upper reaches of the arm.

Bass were or seemed to be content with chasing down huge plumes of bait as the bait was working its way up stream, they were located in the old river channel but heavy concentrations just above the Christopher Run entrance, as of then I did not find any that were associating themselves with the emerging grass along that entire stretch, skipped a few of the more productive docks along the way to the top and tried several others that had differing and multiple types of cover, the red ear sunfish and other pan fish species like the pumpkin seed were thick close to the banks and in the grass.

Weather conditions:  the first day after a front, sunny and 84, the Anna river arm was the only stretch I had fished that day.

Not much but it's all I have, good luck and be safe !!!!
