Querstion

what ya'll think all this rain will do to the fish since they are getting ready to Spawn? Just push them closer to the bank or back them out?

All depends on the water temp.

They'll be fine by Saturday.

not sure Morris but it's this weekend I'm talking about. Hope they are maj but this is only my 3rd spawn ever to crappie fish and not used to what they do with alot of rain

Generally speaking rising water will push fish shallower and falling water will pull them back out some. Now, will they spawn just because they get pushed up shallow, some probably will. However, as Holic said water temp will dictate more than the water level.

Low to mid 60's I recon man. Then again, gonna be 34 Thursdays night and back to 65 friday

One night of cold will not hurt toooooo much, amount of sun and wind direction will hurt you (water) more

we'll see how it turns out. Just hope this water passes on through the rez n clears up by Next weekend when I FINALLY get a chance to fish it again

It didn't rain much at Lake Washington last night. I talked to someone that is on the lake and they were catching them this morning.

Did they say if they had moved into the trees more now?

Ifn I was fishing LW this week-end, I would start in 12-15 fow and run my lines at different depths and move toward shallow water. A good place to start is in front of the glass house and move west toward the Highlands pier. Zig zag as you move. You never want to put all of your eggs in one basket. Be verstile and agile. A slight change in water temps should not effect them.

Steve and I caught some at okatibbee the other day that had eggs coming out already. They were around 8 ft deep on stumps and were laying their eggs.
