What goes up, must come down!

Well Butla is on it's way down in a hurry. Dropped 2 ft. in 3 days. I think the corps is looking at the possibility of rain next week and needs to drop it fast. I took a few pics of the spillway and the Third ditch.I also made a video of the spillway. Elbow Creek was elbow to elbow. Water probably packing the shad up in there.Did not see anyone catching anything. I pitched a few different colored jigs at the Third Ditch but didn't get a bite. Sure would love to have a small john boat to slip in there. Water is just inside it's banks.I went down the access road on the way to Coldwater and tried to take a pic of the Eagles nest I saw off in the distance.You will have to zoom to even see it.Another truck pulled up and he was watching them with some binocs.Had a mosquito try to bite me in the face. They out already!:yikesI'm still working on getting the video to play!

Drove over today. It was ROLLING

Thanks for the pictures and report. Where can you put in on the ditch? I am not familiar with the tail waters at all.

Nice pics.

Right now you can get up in the third ditch easy from main lake. I would put in a pleasant hill boat ramp if i was headed to third ditch. By the way Ryan sounds like an idea

Wow! Wished our lakes had that much water. We're still down 12'.:(

If your truck is a 4x4 and your small jon boat you have for sale you can put it in off side road leading to third ditch bridge

There's a ramp on the south side just past Elbow creek. The third ditch is Hickuhala Creek back towards Coldwater on 302hwy.Coming from Arkabutla on the south side there is a turn off to your right just before you cross the first bridge. Follw that gravel road till it ends in the water!Some great fishing in there when it gets right.
