The dust will settle for at least a day in the backs of most creeks. Then back to dry and dusty. This ain't enough to do a whole lot.
What we have had so far wont effect anything, soak rite in. Had an inch or a little more here, wind gusts into the lower 30mph range.
gonna have to be a soaker for a day or so followed by a couple inches real quick to do much.
3/4 inch or so here, more coming.
Just did a quick search, looks like .9" so far, more expected overnight. OK, so to stretch things a bit further, how much would it take to matter, and would it effect Lower Sardis. Reason for my asking is just planning ahead.
.61 inches here. Looking like thursday will be a great day to be on Reelfoot :)
Hard to predict the weather. Of I were planning on hitting the lower lake at its prime I would put my money on late January through February. That's just me though. I'm sure others will have a different opinion.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but rain will not be the issue at the lower lake at Sardis so much as the spillway being on or off.Quote:

Even if the bite never gets "on" from this point, it's still easy access with the Kayak. Haven't fished the little lake here yet, but will before the week is out, doubt there's any crappie in it, but I got some bass gear in the trailer.Quote:

Correct, the lower lake will be better with spillway flow. For the whole month of Dec., The COE will open the spillway more if the big lake gets above min. pool due to rain. The slow fill will start again Jan. 15.Quote:
