I have been up there probably six o seven times this year since March and haven't seen the first cruising fish or bed fish either. Not sure if they just bed on some of the deeper gravel bars and cant be seen or what. I've been as far up in some of the creeks I trust my boat to go as well. May not have started there yet. I do know one thing, short of having more difficulty loading and unloading my boat alone, I love the fact they drew the lake down. I've seen new cover and I'm catching more of those nicer LM than ever in the past!!!! Had a few days with multiple keepers caught and released.
