Where Are The Fish

[Bear]

I have been on Beaver twice but I haven't got one in the boat yet. I am from the eastern side of the state where the lakes are shallow and stumpie, not use to this deep clear no trees lake. I usely go for the crappy this time of the year, but I just got a new G2 bass rod that's wanting a fish on it real bad. I also have one of there featherweights that I use for trout and crappy, it's like useing a fly rod but with the ease of a spincast real. So can any body give this flatlander any pointers? Crappy, Bass, white Bass I don't care I fish for them all.

2 weeks ago there were lots of Kentucky bass in the Indian creek arm on the north side of the arm on the sunny, windy banks. The biggest one I caught was maybe a pound and a half, but they are lots of fun on a light oufit like you have. I was using a 1/8 ounce white marabou road runner. There's also quite a bit of timber in the water in that area at least for Beaver so you should feel right at home. I may be there Saturday myself, haven't made up my mind yet.

Hickory Creek and Monte Ne are good for holding Crappie. I am pretty sure the whites are getting up into the War Eagle and White. For Bluegill, get close to any bluff line or a cove surrounded by trees.

Thanks for the come backs I will will put it to good use.

If you want to catch some whites you can try putting in at Beaverama...or even down at Twin Bridges in Goshen. It should be turning on down there soon...

Also, I have heard the black bass are hanging close to tree stumps in shallow water up the the river arms and guys have having some luck pitching jigs around standing timber and wooded cover. Again, this is more hear-say than first hand knowledge but hopefully it is a starting point.
