North and south forks are good but have more fishing pressure. With pixel fishing equipment we have today finding productive water is usually not a problem. It's about the same run as Rathbun with more paces to fish. I've fished them both a lot over the years.

thank you!!

This was from a few weeks ago...shortly after you posted! As always, YMMV.

Mike Baker is a pretty good fisherman and had some old waypoints to begin with, so....don't be surprised if you don't do as well your first time out! Just showing you this so that you know there are, in fact, some good fish in that lake!!

If you get out there, post a report!

Good friends place in stootsville we go out of 107 put in and coves around there and trees off shore r usually productive.robbie and his dad pulled cranjs to grt success in channels there. Plus we've done well on bridge piers.

Guide has site who w LS finds goop schools on trees. You can find them without it but have to cover lots of water.
