Nolin Lake - Dog Creek: How much current is there?

[Ranger492]

Thanks so much, is the fishing better back past that first turn? Should I not even waste much time fishing from the bridge to the turn?

The fishing is good in Dog Creek in general...one of the 5-6 main feeder creeks on the lake. Fishing will be good from the boat ramp back to the fork and beyond. Lots of standing timber in the back two forks, so lots of targets as well. I would say that if the bass are still waiting to spawn (and I don't know that they are since I haven't been on the water in two weeks) the further back the better. Bluegill in that area are always good during the spawn as there are a couple of shallow flats that hold lots of beds. One other poster suggested crappie in shallow water, but I believe they have spawned and left for the most part based on my last two days of fishing Easter weekend. I could be wrong about that, but I haven't heard any favorable reports in the last 10 days. Good luck

How'd the kayaking and fishing go?

How'd the kayaking and fishing go?

Thanks for asking, but life kind of happened and unfortunately I haven't gotten to go yet. The day I had planned to go our AC went out and I had to deal with getting someone in to replace the fan motor. Then I was set to go another day and it poured most of the day. I am hopeful to go next week since now it looks like the weather will be OK. I just hope I haven't missed the best fishing by then. I enjoy bass fishing most of the time and stick to that but my two children love to eat fresh fish and are always asking me why I didn't bring any home with me for them to eat. So I was hoping to not only have some fun with a few large mouth but also get into some of the blue gills you had mentioned so I could bring a few of them back with me to cook for them.
