On Rough Wed, heavy stain on main body maybe 1' clarity so I fished mid lake near peter cave, water was stained but clearer with close to 2' clarity. Should be fairly clear on the river above peter cave but with the rain forecast of 2 to 4 inches it depends on if your tourny is this weekend it cold muddy back up. Water temps in the mid 50s and reaching 60 in shallows in afternoon, so the temp is right for a good bite but the water has been dropping .5 to 1 foot per day so it seems to make them unhappy, they don't want to get trapped shallow so fish in or near deep water. Long way until spawn so hit main and secondary points and deeper creek channel banks. I caught 7 on jerk bait and suspending crank over ledge of steep creek channel bank, saw a lot nosed into break line but cold not get any to take a soft plastic or jig. The good news is it can only get better, barring more mud.
