Thanks again guys. We put in at 6:30 and the State Park lot was at 50% capacity then. Off the lake by 12:00pm. Joyriders had the ramp tied up pretty bad at 12pm. Water temps where 79 to 82 degrees, color stained. It was a pretty cool early morning on the lake. We did manage to catch a few around the first 90 degree bend. Squarebills and shakeyheads did it for us. Match the crankbait with the stained water and should catch a few.

That chart actually shows the thermocline to be around the 8-10ft depth, as below 10ft the water is nearly devoid of any oxygen.

I wish the COE would keep up with that website, at least weekly. There's been several inches of rain in the area since that 6/12/15 report, and that may have changed the DO readings.

Also, the chart reads 28-29deg C .... which equates to 82-84deg F.

Anybody seen Taylorsville since the recent rains? Hoping to go tomorrow if not too muddy.

thanks in advance and I'll report back if I make it down.

10 feet is what I see on my fishfinder. Last observed on June 27.

I was out there tonight. Water temp was 81.8 and water levels were normal. We put in at settlers and stayed around there then went down towards the dam. Wanted to stay away from muddy water which we found none of. Had 3 small ones on a Texas rig but nothing of any size. Figured I better get out there before the fourth crowd comes in. Good luck and I hope I can help, Drew

Thank Drew,

I made it down yesterday from 11-2. Color was good but only caught 3 shorts and 1 16" football that spit up crawdad. All on a jig between 5'-9'

Lake was around 2ft high and depending on where you was clear to slightly stained. We caught around 10 fish. With 5 being over the 15in mark. They might have weighed 13lb. We had one good fish over 4lb and another about 3 1/2 lb. there was a lot of pleasure boaters on the water but didn't seem to bother the fish much. Water temp was 81-82 ..
