Greers Ferry Fishing Report 06/16/08

[Cody Smith]

Greers Ferry is currently 479 ft above msl, still about 18 and one half feet above normal pool. After a late start to a great spring of fishing things are starting to slow down here with water temps in the mid 80's. I've been hard at it for the past few weeks with some days better than others. Most every morning Hybrids are still surfacing along with some white bass. They are moving around pretty good and they are doing a good job of not showing up in the same places. However, a few can be caught on Action Bait Grubs, Stickbaits and Topwaters. Most of the activity I've seen has been in 25 - 60 feet of water. There are some bass on the point's in water of 35 feet and less with others up shallow chasing bream in the 3 - 7 foot range. The largest concentration's are deeper. Jig and chunk combos have produced the best for me when fished super slow around the fall off zones. The catfish bite is going ok, with alot of them getting ready to spawn. We have been doing well on trotlines fished in 12 - 28 feet of water with sunfish and gizzards. The bream are, of course in 3 - 13 feet of water and can be caught on red wigglers and half night crawlers. With the lake falling about 6"'s a day the fish seem to be moving out with it. If I can answer any question's you may have about our fine reservoir, please feel free to contact me via e-mail @ smittyc888@hotmail.com. The parks will be reopening over the next few weeks so plan your trip now and I'll see ya on the water~ Cody S. Smith Trout Troller Guide SErvice
