Fished Long Creek this am for crappie. Called in a report - listen to it here..... http://www.ozarkanglers.com/table-rock/

Darrell Bentley called in a fishing report this mornings. http://www.ozarkanglers.com/montauk/

I see you fry your crappie whole. I have a gentleman from Louisiana that works for me - that's the only way he eats them.

Babler was there this am. Was struggling. Haven't heard lately...

Schedule is posted about 4 pm the day before. For weekends, Saturday, Sunday and sometimes Monday is posted on Friday afternoons. Table Rock is #13. Generation is measured in Megawatts. 55 MW equals one turbine at Table Rock. It has 4 turbines at the facility.

From Steve Dally's Newsletter: http://ozarkflyfisherjournal.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/norfork-spillway-openmaintenance-in-the-rainy-season/ Spillway gates have been opened on Norfork to heading off rising lake levels while the power station generators are undergoing maintenance. As of this morning one generator was running at 3000 cfs, plus 4 spillway gates sending another 3000cfs down the river, equivalent to 2 full units of water. USACE Lakes manager Larry Hiser told KTLO radio that the lake levels were in relatively good shape. Hiser said the spillway release is not related to ongoing construction to implement White River Minimum Flows. However, the release which is equal to two full units of power generation, is part of the effort to draw down the lake to more normal pool levels following last week’s heavy rainfall which dumped more than seven inches of rain on the Twin Lakes Area in four days, including more than six inches nearly a week ago _ KTLO.com

Thanks for posting the report!!!

Not good for the spawn. They're dropping the lake pretty fast. Hate to say it but we need more rain and for the lake to stay up for a couple of weeks.

Well, the lake is about 18 inches down on the bank across the lake and the flow isn't as fast. That's what I see... and what the guides are saying. What the Corp site says is usually unquestionably accurate but... Table Rock is dropping faster than I thought it would. Down to 918. May start dropping 6 inches a day. Will be down to 915 next week at this rate.

http://www.ozarkanglers.com/lake-taneycomo/2012/03/28/lilleys-fishing-report-march-28/ Fishing Report. MDC stocked some rainbows yesterday and the water has slowed some. Fishing this morning was much better.

I'll read between the lines... The flats below the bridge and above Barker. White bass. Am I right? What color swim baits? How's the water conditions? Still a lot of wood trash in the water?

Fishing's got tough the last few days. 4 units full has taken it's toll on anglers trying to get where the fish are (on the bottom, in holes and ditches). The lake's bottom changed after the high water and hard current last spring. There's ridges and holes all up and down the lake/river now and rainbows are down in these drops. When drifting bait over these holes, most of the time the bait doesn't get down over the ridges- it goes right over the head of the fish. Our guides have eben drifting the inside bends of the lake, in the slower current and away from the ditches and doing better. Also, we've been hitting the creeks and finding rainbows, some nice ones too. Roark has been our target the last couple of mornings. Gulp white/orange best. MDC just stocked late this am 5000 rainbows from Scotties up to Monkey Island. These rainbows should be biting tomorrow. I'd throw cleos first to see if they're still close to the surface and then if not, go down and drift Gulp on the bottom.

Darrel called in another fishing report yesterday... http://www.ozarkanglers.com/montauk/

Bill and Steve called in reports the last day or so. Check them out at http://www.ozarkanglers.com/lake-taneycomo/ Sounds like Bill figured out a few things this morning.

Yea- I didn't mean to sound discouraging. It's taken me years to learn only small sections of the river. It is well worth the time and experience to go fishing there. It's more technical than Taney, can be tougher but the possibility of a trophy trout is much higher on the White for sure.

You need to do some research and quick. Read up on the White, here on other places. It's a RIVER, not a tailwater and thus if they're not running much water, you'll deal with shoals, very shallow and big rock shoals. If you're on the river and they shut it down, you're really up it if you're downstream below a shoal. The White isn't a river you can take lightly. You need to be well prepared. Fishing wise- there are 2 reports posted within the last 2 days.

With all the water running, anglers are wanting to know how the fishing is and what to do to catch trout. Steve does a good job detailing how he's fishing, both fly and spin. <a href="http://www.ozarkanglers.com/lake-taneycomo/2012/03/23/dickeys-fishing-report-march-23-2012/">Hear Steve's report by clicking HERE!</a> <a href="http://anglersadvantage.net/" target="_blank">

I didn't see the flats when I looked but I didn't go up around the bend. There was a faint line at the mouth but not much of one. Swan usually clears up pretty quick, quicker than Beaver.

I was going to start a new thread with my report but... I'll just add it here. We put in this am at 7:30 am at River Run. Current moving pretty fast and water off color. Not as much junk floating as I thought there would be. Headed to the dam. Water is clearer up there. Not bad at all. Water temp 48. Worked the Powersite side- nothing. Ran the west bank at the high dirt banks and caught a nice black bass on a chartreuse swimming minnow right on the bank. Went down into Swan. Water temp 53 outside the mouth and 54 in the creek. Again, clearer than I thought it'd be- very fishable. No bites though. Headed down to Barker. Temp still 53 down there. Water still off color but fishable but no fish were interested there either. Current was moving.
