Questions about Trumann

We are considering a trip this weekend to fish Trumann. Currently we live in NWA and it is about 3-4 hour drive up there - I am much more familiar with Grand river arm of the lake. I have heard that as of today that the lake was stained but not extremely muddy and when they begin to generate it would muddy things up. Do you think it would be muddy Saturday and Sunday. Also curious as to what stage the spawn is in. Know you are having camp this weekend and if we are up that way will come by and visit. Would appreciate some information either on this thread or a pm. Thanks Richard

All the ramps on the Grand arm are closed as of Thursday. Closest ramp will be Shawnee Bend at the dam. I think fish can be caught but it will be tough. Other than maybe a gravel road ramp there is only 3 high water ramps on the lake. One of gem being Talley Bend which I seen a picture of today and it has about 20-25 yards of logs and drift wood up against it. So it will be I useable also. I never like to tell anyone not to come to Truman but in this case I would rethink it and come after the water comes back down. But if you want to come have a good time and some great food. Crappie camp has been moved to Eagles Nest campground on 7 hwy between Warsaw and Clinton.

The lake is up 20 or so feet. It can be outright dangerous to get on plane in a boat out there. A lot of trees and debris are floating around.
