Listen here or read below! Chuck strange audio report 2-14-14 Fishin.mp3

Here at the boat ramp in Burkesville it's about half way down on the ramp. I would guess the gravel bars are barely under water...maybe knee deep at the most. It's got a real good green color to it, perfect for navigating and catching fish right now.

Hasn't been much fishin due to the weather, but they're expecting it to be upper 50s next week. Been a few boys fishing from the bank and off the boat ramp, catching some decent rainbows about 12-16 inch.

They have the lake elevation at 691, which is just about where they want it with winter pool at 690.

Conditions and clarity are just about perfect - good green color. Slow and rollin!

Look for some good trout to be comin' in and white bass anytime. They usually start end of February, but with the conditions as they are, I'd say they'll start a little early.
Just an educated guess from 25 yrs of watching em do it.

If I hear of more good catches, I'll update again.
