Flood Gates Open On Bull Shoals

[Hotdawg Guide Service]

Bull Shoals has now got 6 flood gates open 1/2 foot and 6 generators also.The release rate is equal to a hard 7 generators. Please be advised that this kind of flow rate is not for the inexperienced boater. Take an experienced guide and you will have a much better time and safer. That said the catching has been phenominal for numbers and size of rainbows and browns.The best baits are minnows and eggs and you must get the bait down to the bottom. Use 6 pound line and a # 8 sinker and that will work. If you do go yourself wear a life jacket and make sure your motor is tuned up and leave it idling at all times.Go upstream from your truck so if something goes wrong you can float back to it.I do not recommend dragging a chain at all!!This will be some great fishing for the next 6 months at least as it will take that long to get the lake back to normal and the fish will grow at a rate of 1 inch a month and 3-5 pounds in a year! Good luck and GOD Bless Hotdawg!
