Hey we are going bass fishing down at herrington today, and was just wondering how do you usually fish after this front went through and the lake went up about 30ft and is in the tree's? Sort of new to bass fishing and was just curious, we had been throwing shad raps and crawdad bombers the past week when the lake was low. I don't care if it what you do on other lakes not just Herrington, I'm open for ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
Best advice.........................stay home.................Herrington is practically unfishable under these conditions.

Good advice
I agree with the others. My advice is to cancel. Wait for everything to sustain. The wait will make your next trip that much more enjoyable. I would think that if you were to go out, you would have a very tough time navigating the lake as well as catching anything at all.
I'll sit back and watch because I'm not going to be on the water until everything is back to somewhat normal......
lol well we live like 15 minutes from the lake and our boats at royalty's dock and I went down there maybe a hour ago just to check things out and the water color was pretty green not muddy as a expected, not much trash. We planned on staying in the creek, might not even use a motor. I had heard when they start pulling from the dam and the lakes up, fish go to the banks is there any truth to that?
thanks,
Nate
just thought I'd give you a report on how it went, actually did pretty well for the time fished, used shad rap's, and plastic worms. fishing for maybe 2.5 hours and had a lot of fun. Dad caught around a 2.5-3 pound bass, and we caught a couple other smaller. Also we got quiet a few hybrids. Had some good hard hits, and some big bass that followed the lure back to the boat. Overall not a bad day, alot better than what I expected.

Not specifically speaking about Herrington...but how long would something like this take to get back to normal??? Beacause I need to get out bad. Think things would be returning to normal by Saturday or Sunday???
I'm going this evening for a couple of hours. I'm leaning toward jig fishing. I'll report back on how we do.
