Nolin - Dog Creek Area - Late Summer Bass

[58LesPaul]

I have a small club tournament on Nolin Saturday, 6 boats and all the other guys have fished it for years. Anyone got any pointers? Are they starting to move to the backs of the creeks?

Thanks for any help

I am curious how the draw-down affects the fish. From what I am told, the place where we fished near Dog Creek goes completely dry in the winter. I am assuming that means most/all the fish leave the creek and head into the main lake channel where the water is deeper?

Or is it that not all of Dog Creek goes dry (I've never seen it in the winter for myself)?

Yeah Pretty much all of Dog Creek from where were to the back is dry in the winter. The fish do migrate with the falling water to the mainlake or mouth area of Dog Creek. It can be good fishing though. Less places for the fish to hide and they’ll typically group up in the winter.

I have had such a hard time fishing Nolin this summer. I have not caught the numbers of fish like I have in years past, and the water looks a lot clearer than it has in years past too. I did catch my first big walleye out of there this year, but I have had a tough time with the bass fishing there.
