Water is very high and stained just barely lapping over the walk ways in some areas. Current is very strong so don't bother reaching for a spinner bait as it will just ride on top of the water as you retrieve.

Better plan on jigs, worms or bait.

The good news is that the fish are really biting and a good thick size! The are fighting so that you get to hear that lovely sound of the drag as line is being peeled out. Seriously its been a long time since I was actually wooried that my rod tip might snap off. Thats how much fun they are right now.

On the bad side I was talking to 1 of the gents who works at the Park and when I asked him how opening day went. He said pretty good but there were 2 incidents of stupidity. Apparently there was 1 fight and in another incident somebody went to jail. I guess all I can say is good for that. Its not like I haven't had problems at other Parks or Lake Taneycomo with game hogs. It"s just good to see occasionaly an idiot who should be removed from the gene pool spending time in jail.

went day after opening day and i was on the brink of punching someone myself ...some anglers, if want to call them that, have a total lack of respect or generosity for their fellow fishermen...dont want to get too specific b/c most of u allready generally know what im talking about..i expected the crowds but not the downright rudeness...it was allmost impossible to make a decent cast in some areas, in which most of the fish were held up...

in conclusion it was a nice warm day and i didnt puch anyone so like they say a bad day fishing beats a good day at work..
