Greers Ferry 3/13

[Cody Smith]

Fished Peter Creek Today, Caught some Smallies in the 13 -15" range, also caught some nice spots. No walleye caught today in this arm. I did not have much time to fish before my momentary switch on the trolling motor went out. Very windy. Most of the water was 49-51 degrees with the exception of little peter, it was 54 degrees. Should be some crappie in there. This arm warms faster then any other place on the lake, No whites present, the water needs to come up a few more degrees to get them going. I will be out in the next couple of days fishing Devil's Fork, All 3 arms, with south fork and Devil's being the best should be happening about now with the first of the male walleyes showing up and milking. I'll keep you up to date, Looks as if April is going to be prime time this year. FYI, I was consulting my notes from last year and it was 1 year ago today I was catching male eyes way up the arms. Last year was much warmer to date so we are probably about 2 weeks away from great fishing. Let me know if you have any question's about this fine reservoir. BTW the lake is still 3 feet above power pool.

Did you catch your fish trolling? I love to fish Peter Creek,, especially when the whites start it up..

I'm fishing middle fork on Sat. unless its lightening... in a Bass Cat..

Good Luck up in Middle Fork, Be Sure and let us know how you do... There is quite a bit of runoff from Shirley and Up stream, Lot o` current and it's been kinda tuff lately.

"Did you catch your fish trolling?"

No. It's much too cold for any consistant luck trolling right now. I caught all the Smallies and Spots on a jig and chunk combo. 3/16 oz. Jig with a Net Bait Chunk. All the Bass I caught where fat on crawfish/crayfish/crawdad... you know!

Peter Creek is right through the woods from where I live, It's kinda my "home waters", It can beat you up if you can't elliminate water.

Got rained out at work so I did head up the Fork today. Water was only 47 -51 by after lunch,,, still pretty cold. Found some pretty good bunch of shad and when we found the shad we caught bass.. Caught 8 for the day, only 3 that would measure for a tourney. Frenzy worked pretty good today.

Jerkbait would have worked if water would not been like choc milk... headed back in the a.m... going to Salt creek in the a.m and check it out.
