My buddy and I were planning to fish Clark's Hill the weekend of Oct 23rd. Can anyone tell me how the water is looking or if it might be fishable by then? Thanks!

It's fishable now and they are biting.
What about the upper end?
SC little river is stained and upper savannah is dingy. Great color for some crappie.
Sounds like it is time for a road trip to the Hill for some fall crappie fishing :ThumbsUpQuote:

Trolling will work well for you on the Hill. It is a great lake for crappie and I know y'all will have a great time. What part of the lake are you planning to fish.
Yes, thanks for the info guys! We will probably stay in Lincolnton and launch on the Ga side. I have some advice on some creeks in the upper end, so we may start there. Any areas better than other? Any colors hot right now?
Sounds like you have a good plan. From where you are staying all the creeks going up lake will be good. With me being from the upstate I fish the upper end of the lake only because it is the closest to me and it always holds fish but we also have fished the lower creeks and had a great time pulling in real good crappie.
You will be OK and FYI, the Georgia fish are not as smart as the SC fish so they are easier to catch!!:Rofl :Rofl
BAHAHA!!!rotfl
Ronnie says that just because I mainly fish the Ga side and can make it look sooooooo easy. :Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
As my username implies, I fished the middle area of the Hill this weekend near Plum Branch. The water in that area was still clear and about 72F. I did not really crappie fish but fished more for green carp (bass) as they are called here. I was seeing a lot of fish and baitfish right in the ditches of the creek channels about 30 feet deep. Trolled some 2" deep diving cranks just to see what might be down there and caught a mixture of the green carp and some pretty big perch that were attacking a 2" crank. Thought I might also get a hybrid or two and few crappie but did not get a single one.
Catching is catching so it sounds like you still had some fun. Congrats and thanks for the report.:)
Gonna try the hill in the morning. Wish me luck!:)
Butch I hope you find the Hill alive with a crappie bite. Maybe the upper end has cleared some after the rains.
