Yes I saw that on TV too, don`t remember the Mills getting flooded before. They also had pics of the excess water running out of Beaver Dam. Ch24 had a clip of 2 kids in town that caught 2 catfish off the porch! I bet they waded out and noodled them out of the garage! Before this last monsoon, I was considering running upstream from Holiday Island and going after white bass and walleye. Looks like that is out of question now. The super clear water in that area and also Kings river that feeds Table Rock has been known to have super fishing if the water is slightly up and stained. Don`t know about this much water though. It`s been 26 years since I been on Leatherwood. Some guy caught a huge bass out of there, the word got out, they overfished it til nearly all the fish were gone. Have they been stocking Crappie in Leatherwood? They used to drop bales of hay for bass cover, I thought that was weird. Is there any kind of decent manmade fish cover in Leatherwood now?
