    Default Barren 2/14


    Went to Barren yesterday. Put in at Port Oliver and tried a couple spots near the dam. Water was like chocolate milk there and 37 degrees. Graphed several fish 7 to 12 ft deep, went down to peters creek and there were a few fish in there about the same depth but didn't get bit so I decided to load up and go to browns ford where the water was clear. Probly could have made it but decided not to chance it in my fiberglass boat because of all the stumps. Only seen one other boat on the lake. Fishing and conditions should improve this coming week with the big warmup coming. Hopefully have a better report to post.

    Thanks for the report. I'm planning on going Wednesday. Where did you start to run in to good water in Walnut headed to Browns Ford?

    Still up almost 14' above winter pool. Shouldn't have an issue putting in at Brown's Ford. Now running around up there if you aren't familiar with it is a different story.

    They must be holding some back a tad as the lake hasn't come down all that much since last week (maybe a shade less than 5'). That is probably why it is still chocolate milk in the main lake area. Last week it was chocolate up above 31E bridge as far as I could see. As clear as it was at Brown's Ford I would expect the color line to be somewhere downstream of walnut creek.

    If that is the case I bet fish can be caught on the stumps along the old river channel out from walnut creek boat ramp.

    Walnut Creek was clear. It didn't start getting muddy til you got up around the state park up to the dam. Murky but not bad at 31e bridge. I could have put in my 18 ft. bass boat but chose not to at browns ford. Lot of current down where their sucking the bottom out of it around browns ford.
