In my opinion and I am no way an expert on any of this but I see it slowing them down til the lake gets somewhat stable, first of all the water will cool off some and that will push em out some or slow em down. But in the upper end of Longtown Creek and Dutchess Creek the fish were just starting to the beds and the water temps there were cooler by 5 degrees than the off colored water in the south and north ends of the lake. So we still have lots of spawning fish to go yet, just have to follow them up the lake..Same as in Tenkiller..the fish there were in the upper end of the lake were doing there thing hot and heavy and the water temps were 65 to 67 degrees in the afternoons, while down the lake the water temps were in the lower 60's and the crappie hadnt came into the spawning brush yet and were still holding in the 20 to 24' brushpiles right in the mouths of the coves..Fish at Eufaula act differently than they do at Tenkiller so I am still gonna hunt for them as hard as I did before the rain..beats working..
