Dragged the boat out for a few hours Saturday. Water temp about 37°, lake level is at winter pool (1.5' low). They are currently releasing 200 cfs, which is very high compared to 8 cfs normal release, so there is probably a bit of current. I don't think they are still lowering the lake, just matching the inflow. I checked a ton of brushpiles with nothing going on, until I went up close to Sailboat cove and spotted some shad on the df. Dragged a couple of jigs through them until I finally caught a few dinks. I guess if you can find shad, you might be able to hook up some crappies. I didn't check around bridges, nor did I see anyone fishing them. All in main lake basin and nothing beyond bridges.

Sure was nice to get out in the boat and on the water, tho
