Thread: Old Town Lake Report

Still no good. Went this morning and it was 65 or so. The front came through and the wind switched immediately from the north, started raining, and the temp dropped to 50 degrees. North winds and soaked clothes don't make for a very good time, so with no fish again, we left. Talked to one guy at the ramp that had one crappie and a couple of guys with yo-yo's had 2 catfish and one crappie. One guy said he had some yo-yo's out last night and caught just a few, but the owls had eaten several of their fish off the yo-yo's!

One problem I've noticed down there this week. There sure are a lot of big dead crappie floating in the lake. Not just one place----I've seen them all over the lake. There were 12 or so around the G&F landing and parking lot this morning. Something's not right. I wonder if it's agricultural chemicals???

I'm not going back tomorrow, and that's one of my favorite places to fish. Maybe the dead fish died of starvation due to lock jaw!
