Fished last night

Brother in law and I fished the tail race last night. Lots of rough water. Caught 20 whites and 12 crappie between us. Sliders and bettles.

Good work.  I assume you went all the way up to the dam area?  I'll hopefully be able to get out on the water a bit this weekend.  I'm probably going to run up Cole Creek instead of the rough water closer to the dam.

Yea we were right above the handi cap ramp.

Just got back from fishing at the dam (5/8).  Lots of water (All the flood gates open). Chocolate milk water.  Crappie and hybrids were no where to be found but the white bass were a hoot to catch especially when they were running with the rough water.  If you are planning to keep fish, don't be like me and use a stringer, the rough water will just wash it into the holes and crack, making it a pain to undo with the rough water.

I might not run all the way up there this weekend....my fishing partner (wife) is pregnant right now.  She's been pretty nauseous the past few days.  I think finding a place with less movement of the boat would be wise.  I'll run into either Cole Camp or Turkey Creek.  It has seemed pretty slow this Spring in the area for Crappie, hybrids, and whites.  But this is my first spring in the area.  I'm sure I'll learn where to go in time.
