UPDATE: unfortunately, we only got to fish last Sunday (tournament day) caught a keeper first thing on a jerk bait and then it was a couple of hours later another one. We only had 4 fish total the entire day with 2 keepers all on a mega bass 110. local hammer Wyatt Marler won the event with over 23 pounds on an A-rig. we had good time even with the poor results, we definitely be back to fun fish later in year, now I see why so many big ones grow there.

THANK -YOU!!!

Depending on the snow/ice melting we are planning on coming down to bass fish and to learn the lake better. We will be putting in at Empire, and we have never bass fished or put in there, I've only trout fished below the dam. Do any of you have an tips, advice, or knowledge of hazards we should look out for. After looking at a few maps, it seems safest to say from Powersite to bull creek, is that correct? TIA

if are have time you all need to listen to this interview (sorry its like 1.5 hour long) with Fisheries Biologist, Gene Gilliland. A great show for the angler that has always wanted to know about fish care and so many other things in the bass fishing world. it is really eye opening about he says about how this lack of fishing pressure will effect the spawn and that how catch and release can be bad for some lakes. just listen and have an open mind. stay safe and healthy everybody. https://www.basszone.com/post/btl-replay-03-20-20-gene-gilliland

Mill Creek has the ABA division #64 tomorrow and there is a B.A.S.S. club out of cow Creek tomorrow also.

Corps land around the lake gets PLENTY of pressure, unfortunately. That's not to say if you put in the time and do your homework you still couldn't have some nice hunting trips around the area, because you most certainly can. Good luck!

until you come across ones like this around TR then I wouldn't worry much....this one was killed in Georgia 2 weeks ago at my uncles hunting club property.

Don't know if any of you guys seen this from over the weekend but looks like some guys found some big ones!! Almost 40 pounds to win a 2 day tournament!!!

you know the truth just due to habit I didn't even think to throw the Kentucky in with the walleyes after weigh in. Going to have to get it ingrained in my mind to do that. I have told myself and my dad when one of us takes the kids and they catch some legal Spots to let them bring them home, just not something I've gotten used to doing, I still second guess myself when putting a 12incher in the box.

lake was 882.3 last night
