Fished El Dorado Sunday morning and ended up with only 7 crappie. All fish caught north of Sailboat cove. Yesterday they seemed to be about 4 to 5 feet, today it was best for me at 7 to 8 feet. I had 3 that were about 14 inches, the rest were 10 to 12 inches. All caught on jigs. Water temp 68 to 70.
Fished Eldorado Friday off the bank for awhile and caught males in 1 to 2 FOW in back of coves on south end of lake. They had turned black but hadn't fanned a nest.There wasn't a mark on them at all. The spawn is slow but definitely started. Catching wipers and white bass off the dam at Cheney still.
Question ? NEW moon May 15th or Full moon May 29th Which one will affect them the most. Come on Chatt I know you are out there what do you all think :) :juggle
I am thinking they will go into full spawning from May 15th tell May 29th with stragglers before and after LOL
Upper EL Dorado in the I-35 bridge areas, If enough cars cruise by blasting Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" can greatly affect the spawn. I'm ready for the spawn to end and they move deep - I like the deep water thump and play em in slow with my ultralight rods.

Does anyone know about the rumor that the dam may have a leak, and they plan on dropping the lake at least another 5 ft? It appears that it is very low already.

There is not a leak in the dam. There are no current plans to intentionally drop the lake level any further than the current elevation.
The watershed feeding El Dorado Reservoir has not received enough rainfall to produce adequate runoff and associated inflow events to raise the lake's elevation during 2018.
Keep raindancing!! Hopefully we can get a little relief soon!
Thanks for helping battle the rumor mill!
