Overall, maybe - if you weren't planning to fish the creeks.

I fished the north end this afternoon and found fish in 8-11 fow. The fish I caught were holding fairly tight to cover.

I've already had my "Sunbrella" out this spring. It sure helped keep the bulk off of me while the rainsuit did the rest. As for the spawn, it will still happen for the most. A few Crappie will not spawn and absorb their eggs. When the lakes rise during the spawn, there is so much new habitat for the spawning fish to move into that they'll be spread out. Look for buckbrush you can access that does not have a forrest of water behind it. The steeper bank end of coves help me find the Crappie when the water's high. The release of water from the dams will also have an effect and could cause most fish to have lockjaw. However, below the dam during a release can be very productive by concentrating the crappie into eddies (sp) and creating a very special area to load the live wells. Don't forget to check the eddies created on the lakes with running water passing under the bridges!

This is the best weather link I have found. It tells you everything. Temp, rain accumulation, wind,soil temp. Thought I would throw it out there incase some one else might like it.
