Buzzy,
Did your friend catch that right by the dam at wolf creek? If so, I just talked to a guy there last week who told me about it.

I heard the sauger population has went downhill on the river since Cordell Hull quit stocking them, not sure on that one. I haven't ever heard much about any stocking programs for Sauger.

We make it down there 1-2 times a year and since the wife loves to do the trout fishing that is mostly what we stick to when we are on the river. I have only caught 3 eyes there in the past 3 years, 2 bottom bouncing and 1 on a crankbait, all times I was fishing for them. Considering the lack of time I have been able to put into in relation to the small success I have had I would be willing to bet there is a decent population in there. I did witness a guy floating right next to us net a 9lber once, which was pretty neat.
