Bagnell Dam Report

[creek wader]

05/05, Ran down to the dam for about 4 hrs. this evening. They're running the most water I've seen so far, this year. Running over the top of the dam. It was overcast, drizzly, and about 70*. I thought they'd be going wild, but I was wrong. I caught 4 crappie (2 at 13 in.), a small largemouth, a small Kentucky, and a couple of bluegill. Oh, and a large gar. Threw everything at them but, minnows. I walked up from the boat ramp on the east/south side. Couldn't fish the cove, water was too high.

Nice crappie. Looks like I better get my butt up there and start chasing the blues. The fast water should make for some great catfishing!
