Sardis Lower Lake and Cold

[27458]

Read on here several times that in order for the lower lake to get "right" we have to have some cold and nasty weather. Really? Can it get much worse than we've already had? Gonna snow and ice on the beach tonight! Crazy.

Should be about right, we had over an 1" here near Adamsville Tn at first light this am. And man its cold water shed lakes have ice on them. I will not ice fish, but may have to.

Ain't gonna happen this year.

Ain't gonna happen this year.

Your right. Don't know why but it's not gonna happen. On most years I hear a hundred or so reports about catching fish in the spillway on all 4 lakes. The last two months I may have only gotten 5 reports. I wish I knew more about the WHY, but I don't.

Its obvious. Trollers done caught most of the crappies out of the upper lakes. None to filter down to the lower lakes.

[Rees Guide]

More than likely timing.

Not trollers it was feelay

There about 2 foot above on Sardis. It came down a little today. Rule is on the rise. Lack of rain is holding them back. Might be a good thing to keep em in the upper. Instead of sucking em down. They should be stacked in very nice. I've jigged the river twice so far no luck. Iam waiting on em anytime now.
