i have had a great winter and spring so far, i think most people who fish taylorsville put in pull out a cork and minnow and hit the first tree on the bank they see tie up and wait, i have had several limits with some 2lbsers this year, the key is to be versatile, like you said change colors,depths and methods and you can bag some good fish, i give a online report for that lake so i will be going tues night to see what is going on. i will try the watermelon color you used and see if the are still on it.
