I've been chompin at the bit to explore this lake so I went today to scout around. Caught 13 while not cruising. All the fish were small, only 4 or 5 frying size; I assume the draw down didn't bode well for the lunkers, but heck - I was catching fish. The water was amazingly clear but there was a lot of floating debris; leaves, twigs and small limbs along with a little trash. Temp was 68 on arrival 74 when I left. Looks like it's only one or two feet below full pond. If you go take plenty of jigs and heads, it's got to be the snag capitol of the world. I worked pretty hard for those babies. Lots of fishermen out today but every one was pounding the banks and docks; I was only one I saw longlining.
I really like this lake. Lots of structure and cover. Not too big so it's really easy to cover. It's a lot deeper than I thought. Lots of points with steep drop-offs and deep coves. And did I mention - snag city.
Oh. Some may recall I lost a rod and reel a few weeks back. Look what I dragged up today. Not a fair trade.
