Ok. Thanks. I figured it would still be pretty bad. I think I will make the drive to Morse since it will be a lot warmer than the lakes in Warsaw. Have a great weekend.

Got a report of a limit caught today in hogsback area. Wateer looked muddy to me yesterday maybe it has cleared some. I decided today to make the longer drive and fish upstream of sallimonie. Water was in pretty good shape and probably caught over100 fish. I kept 20 to bring home. Several 12 inch fish.

Nice! Those are the reports we like to see. Hopefully the reservoirs will clear up soon as well.

Thanks. Went to missy today and found some fish by hogsback in the river. No real big fish but several around 10 inches. Left there to try a few other areas and found no fish upstream or downstream from hogsback. So eliminated a lot of water. Water got muddier closer to 13 i got. I may try once more tomorrow since rain is forecated and could mess everything up again for a while.

Did the Missy clear up any? I see they have stopped pulling a lot of water from it now. Hopefully, they will let it start filling up to summer pool. Heading down from Goshen in the morning. Will be launching from Red Bridge.

Ya, not to bad now, river still low; lake 5' under summer pool. Bite was good before this latest cold front moved in Thursday. Last couple days have been pitiful to say the least. The high winds and cold temps really killed it, for me at least. Looks like the cold is here for a while, may go out in the morning, may just hide eggs for grand kid.

Missy was a bust for me today too. Only 4 shorts in muddy 54 degree water. It will get better, I promise. I think I have been fishing more this spring than I did all last year, and so far not a lot to show for it. I will keep going until I get it figured out.

Last 2 days in the river were awful. Caught some nice fish last wednesday and was not far from 13. But last 2 days nothing but dinks and not many of them. Going to be cold all week. I think im going to start fishing the main resi again at this point.
