Taylorsville water conditions?

[fishfever]

Is the lake fishable or too muddy with all the rain? Thinking about heading down tomorrow to do some crappie fishing. Anyone seen it today?
Thanks and I’ll report back if I go

I haven't been ... but, it's come up nearly 5ft from the rain, so my guess would be that the water is dirty & trashy. When the water is coming in at three times the rate they're pulling it out ... it's not going to go down anytime soon.

I did go after the last time we had a 5ft raise, back in the Spring, and the water was dirty & trashy for over a week. Would not surprise me if it takes that long for them to pull it back down to Summer Pool ... barring any more heavy rains during that time. They're not scheduled to start pulling it down the 2ft to Winter Pool until mid Nov. so I expect they will just pull it back down to Summer Pool levels.

Last time I was there, a little over a week ago, my partner and I caught 11 keepers out of about 25 fish caught, most of which were "just" keepers @ just over 9" ... and a couple at 11". Almost all were caught off the ends or branches of downed trees, on tube jigs @ about 8ft deep ... but, we didn't catch more than 1 or 2 off any one piece of cover. Water temps were still 77-79deg with a thermocline at around the 12ft depth.

And remember .... next year (after the new licenses are due) the Crappie size limit on Taylorsville will be 10" (if the regulation is approved).

Fishing is slow caught around 20 a day had 10 to 12 a day 9 inches to 11 inches most of the keepers were around 9 inches. Water muddy on lower 1/3 of lake, some color for the rest of the lake. All caught on jigs in 8-12 feet of water near wood. With water coming up fish were very scattered.

Went yesterday and water was up @ 4’ but had good color. Caught 30+ fish with 22 keepers, most keepers 10”-11”(better than last time where most were right at 9”). Caught them on minnows on main lake 10’ deep in 11’-15’ of water.
