dwiebenga Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Out of curiosity, what will the next 36 hours of rain do to the fishing? I know early in the year it could shut things down because it would drop water temps. Are the fish locked into the Spring pattern on the lake?
IL Fisherman Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Great question. Can't wait for the regulars responses. Heading down today!
Browning Guy Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Looks like a pretty significant cold front as the temps are supposed to get down in the low 40's. Combine that with quickly rising lake level and patterns may change significantly until stable again. Should be interesting. mixermarkb and dtrs5kprs 2
Basfis Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 In my experience it depends on how the lake comes up and the temps of water coming in. Fast raise and warm in flow some chase it and a guy can junk fish. Fast raise and cooling, man can it be tough. Seems like they stay wherever they were and let the lake come up over them and wait it out for more stable conditions to really bite again. If if they were on a bed 5' deep they will be that plus whatever the rise is. dtrs5kprs and mixermarkb 2
dtrs5kprs Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Think a lot of the shallow fish will just hunker down. Like me, currently. Expect it to be a tougher bite. vernon and mixermarkb 2

rps Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I am thinking several things will happen. People planning on sight fishing beds will be out of luck for at least a week, maybe more. After Friday and Saturday, we will need at least 3 or 4 days of 70+ temp days to get back to chuck and wind fishing. Blade bait fishers will need to slow down and use Colorado blades.

rps Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 p.s. One of my rods on Saturday will have a black twin spin with trailer tied on for slow rolling across the bottom. mixermarkb and Quillback 2
