January Report

Me-Bill WardWe welcomed in 2017 with some nice fish!  We saw our first bit of snow in January, but it wasn’t enough precipitation to really budge the lake level.  However, the runoff did create enough current on the upper end to turn the big fish bite on for a couple of days.  Bait remains abundant just about everywhere you look, and with water temps still in the mid to upper 40’s I doubt we will see a big shad kill this year.  We are still catching good numbers of fish drifting in the main lake creeks.  However, most of our bigger fish have came from anchoring on ledges or structure.
