Members jonboatwilly Posted April 30, 2009 Members Posted April 30, 2009 Cody or someone else who is more familiar than me.....What does the lake look like since all this rain??? I'm off Saturday and I imagine that the river won't be worth fishin on. I'll prolly try to come to Greers but I wandered how muddy it was. Any help will be appreciated. Jonboat
Cody Smith Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Creeks, Rivers and runoffs are gonna be stained up pretty bad but should not hamper the fishing. Lake is up about a foot right now and rain depending will probably rise another foot or so before we are said and done. Don't let it discourage you from getting out there~ My trolling motor steering cables went out and Mercury can't get me a set before next Tuesday so I'm out of pocket until then.... Catch them all for me Sat.~ The Bass and Crappies are doing there thing pretty good right now. The stained and rising water should help the bass out from the pressure and give them a little cushion. That is the one's that have not been found yet~ Let us know how it goes~ Cody S. Smith 501.691.5701 Little Red River & Greers Ferry Lake Fish Greers Ferry Guide Service
Members jonboatwilly Posted May 1, 2009 Author Members Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks Cody....I'll let you know how we do. This reminds me of a tournament I fished on Greers in late April about 2004 or 2005. Lots of rain and the lake rose two or three foot almost overnight. We fished all day with almost no success and hindsight being 20/20 we let the stained water bother us. Late in the day we pulled into a pocket in Devil's Fork that was pretty stained but had runoff coming into the back of it. We caught a limit there and ended up doing OK by wiegh-in. This time of year they're eating no matter what's going on around them. Thanks again for the info and good luck with the steering cable problem. Jonboat
Members catD6Rdozer Posted May 4, 2009 Members Posted May 4, 2009 best thing in the world is happening for greers right now.. its coming up.. probably gonna mess up fishing, but COE just about had all the water dropped off the spawing fish.. we were getting worried. water was nearly to the base of the buckbrush in most areas and thats toooooo low . I fished it 3 days last week, got rained out all week at work, so had to fish..... on wed. my 5 best fish went over 19lbs.. had a great day. thursday was awesome as well just not the big fish like the day before.. friday struggled until after lunch but did end up with a decent day. I see the result of last year when the fish had a good spawn... lake is full of last years spawning fish (dinks) which wont be "dinks" in a couple years, so thats good news to me. catch and release...
