Nolin Lake Conditions

[365allout]

Watching the gauges and see where Nolin is going to reach summer pool quit early with the snow melt, rain, snow melt and rain again. Know it's going to be cold water and muddy, just wondering if there is any part of the lake that historically remains clearer and fishable under these conditions? Plan on fishing it Wednesday and don't want to run the whole lake looking with all the debre that will be floating.

Stay south towards the dam. Briar Creek, Piney, even in Davis Creek the water is stained but not muddy. The main lake all the way to Wax from Moutardier looks like chocolate milk with floating debris. Warmest water yesterday was around 46*. There were some shad on top half way back Briar Creek, and also at the mouth of Conoloway.

I fished a tourney a couple years ago with similar conditions and we had good luck paralleling the banks with crankbaits

Put in at [COLOR=#343434]Moutardier muddy and 45 to start. The heavy mud has made it half way down between Moutardier and the Dam. Briar Creek was muddy to heavily stained. Left Briar and went half way to the dam, heavily stained and 49 at the end of the day. With the current still moving mud down, more rain forecasted and another 10 feet rise forecasted by the weekend the lake is going to be very tough for a while.[/COLOR]
