Prior to the drawdown due to the repair of the dike at the west end of the lake, Overcup was one of the best lakes I fished in te spring. I hardly see any postings or fishing reports on Overcup anymore and was wondering if anyone had any information on the status of the lake.
Aint no fish in there.
Well, just lots of dinks......
And maybe a few gooderns.
Mostly just none though.:scratchhead

How big were they Matt?Quote:

Dude where is this place at? 7 to 9 inches is my specialty.Quote:

Again, thank you for the post.
Where can one of these be purchased ? Found ?Quote:

I don't believe they are for sale anywhere either. They are older maps and I don't think copywrited. So if you find one I think you can make a copy. Hint - I have one in my office in Mayflower. :)
Won't be today, but I'll be seeing ya one day this week ! Thanks !Quote:

Overcup Map
Not the greatest map but it works.
Thanks D10. It will work.
I purchased my map at the bait shop. I am not sure which one but I believe it was over cup landing.
