Tepid Water

[Jigggg11]

This winter was a long "Brutally cold one". The state of Kansas offers some great "tepid water" fishing opportunities for the "cabin fever blues", I've posted some pics of one of these unique lakes. This lake is Coffey County,(formerly Wolf Creek)a nuclear power plant lake.This is a tremendous fishing lake, well managed, the lake offers great smallmouth, largemouth ,hybrids, walleye,ex.(And no the fish do not "Glow" LOL).On this in purticlar day the air temp. was 34' and the water temp 65'(incomprehensable).I'm not going to go into the techniques we used but if anybody wants to PM.me, I'll be more than happy to help and to share with you some of the techniques and the in's and out's of the lake that I use.I hope everyone enjoys the post and the pics.(refer to region #5 for addition info on the K.W.P.D web site)

Right-on Jiggy ..... Coffey Cty. is a great lake. It can be brutal when the wind is up but the fishing is great. Do they still call you off the lake when the wind is up? PC

I installed software at the plant a couple of years ago, the guys there were telling me that the fishing was great. They were telling me they would only issue a limited amount of permits each day, but that became an issues as guys would reserve their spot in advance and when there day came up they would try and fish even if the wind was really bad which led to some boats getting in trouble. I guess niow it's a open to all, no reservations needed. I think the lake is managed as catch and release, or else they have a slot limit type deal, but I might be remembering wrong.
