Has anyone fished Barren lately?
All I can tell you is its flooded. I went 2 weekends ago and places that were normally 8ft were 20+ ft. Good luck. That lake is a mess when it rains like it has. I doubt it ever makes it down to summer pool.

Me and my brother in law went yesterday, 4-21 and had a nice mess. Water level is 12 ft above summer pool. You back in from the parking lot, cause the turn around is under water. But fish can be caught. Got some fishing a float and jig 18 inches deep over 2 fow around tree tops and stick ups, and caught some 15 ft deep over 20-25 fow pulling jigs. Fish are probably confused with weather and water conditions too... water temp was 57 when started and 65 when we left. Will try to post some pics later... phone almost dead.
We caught a limit Friday and Saturday at barren just gotta find the fish. They will bite, but like the above post said they're definitely scattered and confused.

Had a nice mess. For the float fishing, used a 1" gulp minnow on a 1/32 head, letting it fall real slow, catching em on the fall. Lots of flooded bushes and tree tops to fish. Couldn't fish em all in a month. For pulling, curly tails & paddle tails .8 - 1.0 mph. Monkey milk & acid rain best. Seemed the best colors were any variation of green, white, yellow.
Thanks for the reports
