Upper Bull Shoals Report 3/29/07

[Jeremy Rasnick]

We Went to the Pothole last night and fished directly below the dam. Very little success with one small Crappie around the Rock Pile. Water temp 55 degrees. Proceeded downstream and ran into some buddies who were catching whites on small jerk baits across from silver creek just before dark. This didn't work for us by now it was dark and we went to swan where we ended up catching 4 really nice whites and 1 keeper walleye that was released due to the regulations. All fish were caught on a purple swimmin minnow with blue flake on a red 1/8oz head. Saw a few other fishermen up in Swan catch a few.

Rumor has it stocker walleye have been released in the upper lake. My buddies that were fishing across from silver creek caught several cigar sized dinks.

Water temp was very warm around the river run area and in the creek....Mid 60's.

Fished Sun. night (4/1) and caught two really nice whites on the swimming minnow between Swan and the Pothole. I did not see many people catching fish but there were a lot of boats. We fished from 5 till 8 and covered quite a bit of water including Swan Creek. It was an awesome night on the water with a great view of the full moon. Anyone else catching them?
