Thinking of heading to the Current this weekend, but the water levels look BAD. Anybody been there recently for a quick report? Hope Sam's problems get better soon--he's our best regular reporter in the area.

went out wed. of this week. I have a cabin between doniphan and van buren on the current, i started the day off targeting goggle eye with small beetle spinners, no luck,, switched to my flies and used a large crawdad fly, no luck, bumble bee, no luck, tried small jerk baits, no luck.... this was all in the morning... went back out about 4:30 and used a glittered blue 3" grub and caught the crap out of em. ended up catching around 15 smallies, one was 19+ inches and the scale was bouncing between 3.5-3.75lb's hated to let that one go. caught a few goggle eye but mostly bass. great for fun but not great for food sinch you can't keep them till the end of may. my dad was using yellow and doing good, seems that sinking plastics are the way to go on deeper rocky banks

i was down just the weekend of the 8th and the water was at summertime levels, very low and clear. I did great sightfishing a #18 copperjohn with no indicator, and the trusty ole crackleback worked great too. Plenty of fish around, but i wish i had more time to fish outside the park that weekend.
