Shell Knob Area Question

[mrgungho]

Just curious how it looks up around Shell Knob after last week's rain has settled... I went last Sunday and it was high and tough fishing but water was only "stained" around big Creek /mill creek areas.   I'm also looking to get out Sunday after this upcoming round of water and looking for any thoughts advice on what condition will more than likely be if we get the rain that is currently forecasted. 

 

Thanks in advance for your time!

if we get all this rain, I bet they will close the lake like they did a few years ago. Its at 919 now without the rain coming and beaver is full already

If not you better be darn careful out there, the owners of pla-port told me just a bit ago there is debris everywhere and that the Kings is a log jam. Do yourself a favor and stay off the lake and don"t  be a statistic.

Yes, everyone should stay off of the lake at least until Memorial Day. ? I'll let you know what's going on.

Fish the steep cuts along the channel with spinnerbait or jig. You won't even have to get on plane in order to save a lower unit! Be safe!

If it's heavy log jams and all that I'll wait.

Are there any areas on TR that are consistently the least impacted by heavy floods (chocolate milk, logs, hazards  etc....)

Or maybe areas that generally recover the most quickly from floods? 

Imagine being a pro on Beaver tomorrow having to fish the FLW tourney for a living.

Kim City to the dam. Yesterday you could get around, but needed to use some sense and caution. Now? Who knows.

Yep, I got bad info from one of the guys who was supposed to be fishing OMTT this weekend on TR. They probably told them everything on Beaver was cancelled, too, so as not to have a riot on their hands. Beaver is much closer to the top of the dam this morning (about 2.5 feet) than Table Rock and has at least as much floating trash. Doesn't really seem fair to let the big boys keep fishing and send everyone on TR home. And yes, I realize there's only 20 boats fishing today on Beaver but numbers don't change the matter of principle.
