Lake levels

[LD Fisher]

Looks like the lake level is headed up due to all the rain.  I hope it doesn't get too high because when everyone was catching two fish per hook, I couldn't get to my boat without using another boat!  We are heading down next weekend for an extended stay (along with probably 60,000 of my closest friends😆).  The wife and I came two weeks ago to do a little meat fishing and did well, but we lost two crappie to some unemployed otters😡.

Hopefully the fishing will still be good, I can reach my boat on the dock, the tackle I've been stockpiling based on everyone reports will still be good and I can find a small piece of quite water to fish!  If you see a silver ranger angler out, please stop by!

 

oh, does anyone know when Vernon is going home?  I need to know if I need to pack all of our rain gear!! 😂🤣😂

Keep all the reports coming and thanks for all the information!!  Just please don't tell me that the fish have changed their minds on what they will bite!  I can't afford to buy more tackle, besides I not sure I could fit more into my truck!

You’re in luck!  We’re heading home tomorrow morning so I’m sure conditions will improve dramatically once we’ve cleared downrange. 

Consider today just a little going away gift to remember us by😉. 

Kinda curious what the total rainfall since last Thursday has been as well as the median daily temperatures.

Personally, we think this week just might represent some of our finest work - highlighted by Monday and Tuesday!

As for the fishing we’re the last two guys you should ask!

You're a true gem. We don't realize how fortunate we really are.

What can I say - it’s a gift. 

Still sitting here watching the last day go up in smoke. 

That makes three. 

This incessant downpour is bad enough but homey ain’t gonna play with this lightning.

I guided today,. 7 to 1.  We all got totally soaked and the fish did not bite worth a Poop.  Ended a 6 hr. day with 6 keepers 4 shorts and some gogs.  You can see the water going up, launched at Baxter and it was amazing how much farther it was up the ramp between 7 and 1.

The carp are on the bank and there is a huge shad spawn going on up there too, but its hard to get to and I really did not see any fish smacking the shad.

For those of you that might still question whether or not I truly have all the shots I would offer only that now that the rain has about stopped the wind is blowing about 30 mph!

Looking out the window at some pretty impressive rollers.......🤦‍♂️
