I wonder how many other Beaver ramps are even open now? Its been a long time since Beaver has seen this much water. Years ago maybe 15 or more, I remember it muddied up all the way below point 5. Made for some great (unusual) shallow water bass fishing on the lower end of the lake. Fished alone from daylight til dark (second day of heavy rains) out in the lightning, thunderstorms, high winds, heavy rain, caught 37 largemouth and spotted bass, several from 3 to 6 pounds on a white spinnerbait with silver willow leaf and 3 inch white mister twister. Don`t have it in me anymore, this time just sat and watched it rain looking out thru a window! Lightning and graphite rods don`t sound too appealing anymore. Neither does wearing a rainsuit hood up all day, cold withered hands, bilge pump running the whole time, wet feet! Getting soft I reckon! If the lake stays very high up in the green bushes all spring, fishing may stink.
