Lower Lake Information

[Don House]

Just looking for information from you guys down on that end of the lake. Water still really bad or is it starting to clear? Hopefull thinking I guess. Looking of bass and crappie thought maybe that end of the lake has flushed out by now? Table Rock is a mess!! thanks for any information..

Good Fishing or Thinking about it..

I betcha it clear and I bet Powersite is clear too.

The water has cleared up real well in the channels. Lots of debris until late yesterday but today that has subsided(I hope).

Is still slightly stained up the creeks but with the high water the bass are holding tight to cover near those transition points between clear and stained. Whites are cruising right on those same lines but are hard to find. If you find them it will be fun. In this current they tend to school tighter together but you will have to move fast to keep up with them.

With the debris slacking off, the trout are very aggressive in the high water generation. I havent been out looking for brownies in over a week. I would assume that with all the current they arent holding to deep cover but are instead chasing the bows wich tend to loose all inhibitions in the conditions that are present.

Would be a great idea to fast drift(like you have a choice) with hornets or troll upstream (real slow) with deep diver cranks. Try to focus on the 10 to 15 foot range. Those brownies will work the shallow fast water more than hold in the deeps when we have prolonged generation.

Hope that helps you Don

No Problem,

If we get a day where the wind slacks off, I plan on doing the same. Been working to much latley prepping for spring(garden, yard, ect). I need to get back to just playing with the fishes again.

Maybe I will see you out.

Good luck.
