anyone been there recently? I am thinking of taking Gini there in the boat on sunday.I called and the ramp is open,but the level is down to about 1/2 capacity.Is this enough water to get a boat to the south end and flip the trees?a;so what does the water look like ie..Chocolate milk?
Thanks in advance,Swampy

The water has come down from when it was going over the spillway a few weeks ago. It is still higher than it was at any time that the lake was open last year. The Water district has set a water level limit of (I believe) 55% of the total capacity of the lake. The storms made it impossible to let out enough water through the gates to keep it at that level, but now they are approaching it. The launch ramp is more than 1/2 covered and there will be no problems launching. I'd be more worried about large debris still floating around. The water is still chocolatey and you could hit a tree or whatever before you knew it was there, so drive slow.

Thanks wade,have you been fishing it in the muddy conditions? If so,what would you suggeat.

Yo Swampy

Double drop shot with a glass bead. Use a standard drop shot
rig and instead of a weight on the bottom, use a dart or crappie
jig with a glass bead on top. The tapping noice while moving
the 4 inch jigs over the rocks will attract the fish in murky
water.

The other night I fished for 3+ hours for 1 bite at the dam. It came on a 1/4 oz rattling jig with a baby brushhog slathered in Smelly Jelly. The bite was seriously mush and swam off super slow. Teeth marks came back on the trailer about 1/2 way back on the "paddles". I'd guess it was either a micro bass or wasn't at all hungry. As cold and murky as things are I'd go as slow as possible with lots of scent and maybe some noise.
This weekend I plan on hitting the South end from my kick. Maybe we'll see eachother out there. Either way, good luck to you and your lady.
Tight lines,
Wade
