    I've had days where a spot only produced a fish or two and you had to move on. Come back, and get another fish or two. Other days where you could fish the same spot all day with non-stop action. It just happens.

    No clue , but for sure seen it a zillion times . Dropping water levels that quickly could for sure be the culprit though.
    Or it could have been that coupled with 27 other variables. Was 2 fish from a limit of 25 monsters one afternoon waiting for my buddy who was running late , when he arrived we went right back and struggled for the rest of the visit and left with 27.
    To this day it sticks in my memory, they bit Every drop and where just whoppers in herds on timber and even though they were still there when we got back a few minutes later , it was like there wasn’t a fish down there

    A big problem with where I fish is there are zillions of small fish everywhere and I really mean everywhere.
    The keeper rate is about 1 out of 10+ fish caught.
    Great place to practice and try new stuff but I fish for sandwiches.
    Guess it could always be worse.
    I’m not complaining.

    I was fishing there Thursday and it seemed if there was a bunch of fish together they wouldn’t bite you had to find small schools like 4 or 5 fish and they would bite. They would be close to the bigger school of fish. Not really an answer to your question just what we saw.

    The bad thing about Taylorsville is the abundance of 9 7/8 inch fish!!
    The lake fishes well and I ALWAYS catch fish. Great place to practice Livescope skills.

    .... yeah, but it was the same back when the size limit was 9" ... you could catch a ton of 8 7/8" fish. Then all of a sudden people started catching 11-14" fish in numbers and the KDFWR decided to up the size limit to 10" (and now here we are, again )

    Yes you does. I’d say it has to do with the amount of pressure that lake gets. As soon as a fish hits legal size it’s taken.

    CP,
    I’ve only fished Taylorsville for the last 5-6 years. Has the limit always been 15?

    Best I remember, yes, it has always been 15/day/person. It's only a 3000 acre lake, opened in 1983 ... and the first couple of decades since opening you'd be lucky to catch a 9" Crappie that wasn't paper thin. I've fished it since it opened, but spent a lot of those early years Bass fishing it because of the poor condition of the Crappie back then.
