Different areas of the lake will produce a spawn sooner than others and since I only fish the area by the boat ramp here in Arrowhead Estates, its the only place I can give a fairly accurate report. Towards the end of last week, the big males were coming in, almost black, and aggressive. They didn't show any signs of "fanning" because their tails were worn not down at all. Water temp has been climbing and got up to 56 last week when they were biting, but starting last Monday, the lake level began to rise and has came up 2.75 feet. Water temp is now 58 and holding. Catching very few now compared to last week. I haven't cleaned any females, but my fishing buddy has and he said the egg sac hasn't formed yet. Are we approaching the spawn.........not sure. Has the spawn come and gone...... I don't think so. I believe the water temp has to be up around 62 or higher to trigger the spawn. My guess is the spawn will come, but it may be two or three more weeks. Remember, this is my opinion for this one area only.
