we got there on friday and being the first time there we kinda just scouted the lake. we were staying at holmes bend and went to the right from there, every cove we went into was packed full of drift wood so we kept heading up the lake and it was horrible, muddy and covered with drift. so we stayed down around the marina. then on saturday the water was up about 2-3 feet and the mud was down to the marina so we headed to the left but didnt go very far, went around the bend there and fished the coves up on the right but had no luck. i like to think that was because of the water and weather and not because of us because we would like to go back next year because we were treated very well but two days and no fish sucks. lol
