Scott McGlinchey

For March 25, 2020

Most fisherman do not fish 30 feet deep but I do know for sure that some anglers are catching them there where the water is clearer towards the east side of the lake. As for bass you can catch them from drop offs or in a foot of water. Last Friday ... Continue Reading...

That being said, the last couple of warm days has turned my attention to the new fishing season. Rain, rain, rain, just like last year, we have had nothing but torrential rain.

Kirk Weber

For November 15, 2019

Air Temperature: Low 27 High 44 Water Temperature: Low 46  High 53 Water Elevation:  354.5 (Winter pool 354') Water Clarity: 2' to 3' visibility (green stain) Winter jumped on us a little early this year!  Record low temps a few days ago and cooler than normal highs for a week have definitely slowed the average fishermen down.  Some of us "in the know" have taken advantage of this event.  This cooler ...

Rich Bay

For October 31, 2019

From the Deck of the Kick'n Bass PontoonWhat a difference three weeks can make. 90's three weeks ago and 60's for the highs this week. Water temp has dropped nearly 20 degrees to about 65 degrees.
