Ef?

anyone have any info on EF? condition of water? catching anything?

I haven't been on the lake in a few weeks but the water coming out of the dam still has pretty good color to it so I would assume it's still at least little murky. We haven't had much in the way of rain so it has to be clearing. It's not flooded any more.

I went last Saturday and the water was a bit high but not too bad. The ramps were a mess. The water was very muddy. However, I'll bet its in good shape by now. I'm spending 2 days there next Wed-Thurs. Can't wait.

went today and the water was still stained. kept about a dozen good sized ones, a few having eggs. still didn't seem to have a great pattern. most were caught shallow under bobbers, a few caught spider rigging about 10 to 12 foot deep. also caught some dinks as well and always a couple small bass and a few 2 to 3lb catfish.

Attachment 159420 Fished sat. First time on the lake this yr. caught 57 crappie. Kept 18. Did catch some good fish. Covered a ton of water casting jigs. The fish I was fishing for was holding in 8' right on the slope.

Good day. I've got a buddy going there in the morning. He's supposed to call me with his own report.

I went out with my 7 year old daughter on Friday and Sunday for 3-4 hours each day. We caught a total of 15 fish with 6 keepers fishing with minnows on a jig/bobber in 5-10 feet of water. On Sunday, my daughter caught all of the fish (partly luck but partly because I spent a lot of my time fixing lost hooks). She is already asking if we can go again next weekend!

I am fairly new to crappie fishing and East Fork so I should probably be happy with our success but I can't help but be jealous when I see reports of 60 crappie. Great job. Is the difference in success more exact location, bait, or technique? I am guessing all 3 in that order? We did spend half the first day trying locations that yielded nothing so we were pretty happy when we found a place that got us a few fish.

I would say so. Once you find them they're pretty easy to catch.

Nice fish Trackman

Any of you guys see that horse that went over the "cliff" across from the Bantam Ramp Saturday evening?
I didn't go over there but there we a couple of boats full of "Waterboys" and a few other boats. They had to put the horse to sleep of course. Pretty sad really.
I don't know how they did it but it was gone on Sunday afternoon.
