I have not been on the lake much over the past couple weeks due to Icy weather! Ramps last week were iced over but more seasonal temps this week thawed most everything out. I’ve still seen random and isolated patches of ice on the water remaining early mornings in protected and shaded pockets and coves. Temps and lake levels rose a little this past week ranging from 35-45 degrees depending on location. Water and lake levels near normal, approximately 3” above normal and falling with 391 CFS of river current, and clarity continues improving. Crappie continue stacking vertically in standing timber and planted brush tops, best on jigs, tubes, and grubs on light wire jig heads, and shiners from 12-18 feet of depth. Bass were slow on medium and deep diving cranks, jigs, and gizit tubes and worms. No report on catfish with reduced river current, haven’t seen any catfishermen on the lake this week.
