Thread: High-Water Ouachita

Well, folks, I know I posted about the trip yesterday (Tuesday) but wanted to add some info. The three 15-inch white crappie I caught yesterday all still with eggs. They were in the newly flooded buckbrush and they liked red-chartruese 1/16oz jigs, tipped w/ a minnow, tight to cover.

I caught all three around 3 pm, then rains came not long after that and I was forced off the water as the lightening decided to do its thang. The water was 5.5 feet above normal then.

Today, it is nearly eight feet above normal (but holding) and the boat ramp at Twin Creeks is totally underwater, as is the parking lot. I'm gonna have to go to Denby (it's steeper) for a while.

May showers. I reckon so. Still got six more large fillets in the freezer. :D
