Greers Ferry 09/09/08

[Cody Smith]

Greers Ferry is currently 467 feet above msl. Water temperatures are ranging from 77 - 83 degrees. Temps and water levels have come up and plained off since our most recent rain showers. Fish can be caught from 22 feet deep on the ledges and drops up to 2 feet of water in the bush's. Over the last couple of days I have seen a push with the larger fish coming shallower. Yesterday we got bit in the 7 - 10 foot range in and around newly flooded bush's. Swim Bait's and Jig's produced all the fish. Ton's of bait are moving shallower mid-way back creeks and along pockets of water on the main lake. I would expect in the next week or so larger concentration's of fish moving towards the backs of the main creeks and tribs. Don't overlook main lake points and ledges just yet. There are still some really nice fish holding in these location's. HUGE schools of small spotted bass are cruising and feeding heavily on bait in and around the bush's. If you want to catch a boat load of smaller fish, down size your lure and keep casting around visible structure. There has not been alot of hybrid and white action yet, However anyday the bite could really kick into gear and I'm sure somewhere on the lake there already going. I'll be back on the water soon and I'll report what I find. Good Luck, some of the best fishing is on the horizon.
