Pick Wick Report please ...

I know a couple retired friends down fishing Pick Wick for a few days and they are having a hard time. Can someone please share depth and color?

thanks in advance for any help!

I would go to Bear creek.

Indian creek may be good also

Thanks Broharrell and blueball, the are in Indian Creek now. I was there about this same time last year and they are trying my old pattern but struggling. Thanks for the advise! Any idea how deep they are with the cold front and rain??

Pickwick is really tough right now for me, caught a few on Hair jigs, Red and green seen to be the best for me, most fish I have caught are in anywhere from 11 to 14 ft deep, I'm longline trolling the flats in Bear creek.

Thanks tnjeff, I have passed it along.

I spent 5 days on Bear camping Easter week. Three of us caught about 100 total in 5 days. I have friends that have been camped there for almost a month and they are not doing well. very disapointing for Bear Creek in late march as we have been doing this for 20 years. I went back last Thursday and fished up to Saturday morning. Heavy rain and wind was a problem and only got 15 fish total in two days. Some of the best fisherment on Bear are struggling right now. We are starting to think it may be an off year due to poor spawns 4 to 5 years ago. We are catching lost of small fish under 10" (throw backs). We are trolling shallow and deep water.

I second the missing spawns/age class of fish at pickwick. Fished up there a couple of times last month. We caught a few big fish and then a ton of little fish. The fish I found were deep 14 to 18 on a ledge closer to deeper water. The water was 59 degrees 9 days ago. We fished yellow creek.

just curious...ive fished pickwick a lot but only pulled crank baits.....did you spider rig in indian creek?

Thanks for all of the comments. Tigerinfield3 they are tight lining, no spider rig.

Missed the part about color earlier. I really depends on the water color/clarity. If the water is good and brown your going to have to use orange/chartreuse, yellow/chartreuse, or even black/chartreuse if it's real dirty. If the water is clearing up pretty good natural colors are the key. White based colors in clearer water. Straight chartreuse if it has a little stain to it. Color is very variable to me personally. Depends on water color, water temp, water clarity, and a bright or cloudy day.
