Potoka Lake & Winter?

[Moose1am]

And if the Wabash is flooding they can't empty too much water from the Patoka River into the Wabash. And it's all depends on how high the water levels are in the River's down stream from Patoka Lake. They have been trying to lower the level all summer and fall and now into the winter months but we keep having high water levels downstream.

I wish it would stop raining so much and that the level would get back down to 532 before the end of March.

There are some really nice smallmouth in Patoka. I catch some everyyear while bass fishing or crappie fishing. Biggest one I've personally caught was right at 20" and it was a football. Caught it near the old river channel fishing rocky banks and bluffs looking for crappie brushpiles. Not long ago I got a new 9'1/2" FnF rod and new reel just for this type of fishing. When it isn't so cold we're going to go FnF fishing in those areas where I've caught smallmouth before. If that doesn't pan out in several hours we'll go back to crappie fishing those deep brushpiles that I have located over the years. There's always fish on them and there's always some biters willing to come aboard my boat.
