Thread: wassup with butla???

I just moved into the area. Been riding and checking it out. With all the good reports from the other big lakes I figured the crappie would be on the banks here also. Haven't moved my boat here yet. When I do I plan on fishing it.

Butla is a completely different lake from the other 3, others are starting to hold water and Butla wont till May 1st. Much smaller lake and more effected by an inch of run off from up stream.

I don't say much, but here it goes I have hear of people catching fish on Butla this year , I fished it last Saturday did fair 3 keepers out of 5 before wind picked up . notice most the coves has a lot of buck brush in them , I didn't even try to fish them . Lot of people that fish big 4 lakes won't say much, I know why I have read a fishing report on here and next day I was there along with 50 other people and didn't get a bit . Now I don't do that anymore. Only thing I look for now is what depth they catch them at. last year I found the fish at butla and had a good day , went back next day no luck.
