lakes went up a mile here as well , didnt seem to stop the fish though .
the spot we went to last week went up at least 5 feet and the bluegill were still there
and the spot we hit yesterday the same thing and the bluegill were still there
of course there were alot more fish in both cases in shallower water , but that i imagine is due to the water temperature falling quickly and lots of food items being washed in the water during the rains .
no worries you will be back on them next visit i am sure
