Thread: Rain

Lots of rain and some cold weather will get things right for Wb and BigH to start their snagging routine. And the ones they miss can be caught by us sportsman downstream.

I only travel in the Fall SS, so ya' gotta make hay while the sun's shinin'

Right, but I thought the rain may have an effect on that.

Buzzkill Seriously, was just remembering out conversation in the parking lot. Just trying to decide when I should head back to Sardis. Even if the bite never gets "on" from this point, it's still easy access with the Kayak. Haven't fished the little lake here yet, but will before the week is out, doubt there's any crappie in it, but I got some bass gear in the trailer.

I thought you had moved down to Grenada.

Correct, the lower lake will be better with spillway flow. For the whole month of Dec., The COE will open the spillway more if the big lake gets above min. pool due to rain. The slow fill will start again Jan. 15.
