Unfortunately we didn't miss any heavy rain. Probably got 1.5 inches this morning before daylight.
What does the water look like at horse shoe bend? Muddy stained or clear?
Don't know about Horseshoe Bend,but Little Bear is stained. Horseshoe Bend is probably about the same.
Yes I was at Piney Point Wednesday looking around and the water was stained then, so I'm sure it is now also.Quote:

Too far for me to travel most of the time. I can be on Upper Bear or Big Bear in less than an hour. About 2 1/2 hours or better to Wheeler for me.Quote:

Have they finished working at Big Bear, that will be like a new lake if they have it backed up to full pool now. I may go up there and check it out. I had about stopped fishing in Little Bear cause that road was so bad and I had to drive such a round about way to get over there.Quote:

Looks like easy launch at Piney Point, didn't check Horseshoe, they say you can launch from there also. I'm going to check it next weekend, was going this last weekend but had to work.Quote:

I thought it must be a hybrid but it didn't have the broken lines on it, then 2 guys at the ramp said they thought it was a regular stripe too.Quote:
