Water Clarity

[Quillback]

Upper end (state line to Rock Creek) yesterday was 3-4'. and fish were shallower than they "should be" now (<15'). Didn't drop a probe, but I expect cold releases from Beaver are as much a factor as clarity on this end.

Finding any bass at that depth, 15' or so?

Yep. Trolled crawler harnesses on flats & points from Roaring River to Rock Creek in the 20-30' range... nothing but a fingerling LM and a punk K. Ran up to HI and did the same down to past Fletchers, no better. Out of boredom, we even tried to catch some bass on a seldom-fails 25' break... nobody home there either. Buddy was ready to fold, but I suggested we make at least one shallow pass on the way back... Bingo. 5 'eyes and six bass on deep suspending rogues (run ~12') in 15-18FOW by the west bank (1/2 mile stretch). A freak ice cold downpour (with the sun shining!) at 7PM sent us home.

Cool, thanks, debating on whether or not to throw a deep crank.

Fished last Friday from Holiday Island down, looking for walleyes and dragging crawler harnesses as well. All I could catch were spots--largest maybe 14 inches. All fish were somewhere deeper than 15 feet to maybe 25 feet.
