Swan Creek White Bass (misleading Title)

[zander]

My father, my son and I headed down to start the morning at the powersite tailwater on the generator side. Stayed long enough to lose a couple sliders a piece. No action seen by anyone out there, the only sign of fish was a 7 inch walleye and a 14 inch rainbow that I saw following my lure. After that we headed down to Swan Creek and fished below Shadow Rock. There were lots of shad in the water, some healthy, some dead as a doornail and others doing the swimming dance towards death. There were also lots of 2-3 inch dead crappie all over the place. We figured we might get lucky but wouldn't you know it, nothing! Didn't see anyone else catch anything either.

By this time it was around two in the afternoon and so we headed to the Kissee Mills Bridge and fished there for the remainder of the day. People there said that "Slough Hollow" was jammed packed so people were probably doing well there but we still got nothing. I have to say though that it was gorgeous there at Kissee Mills, I have never been there before. They said last weekend people were tearing up the white bass there but they must have moved along. All I saw were lots of yearling bass and crappie with the occassional bluegill nipping at the end of our sliders.

Wish I had "catches" to report but maybe this will make you all feel better if you wanted to go to these places today and weren't able to, other than the scenery you didn't miss a whole lot.
