Tville tomorrow

[RICHYD4U]

Fish are there. Fished from 3:00 pm till 7:00. The only bummer was the biggest hybrid was 9lbs. I think it will last through thursday. Anywhere upstream of the bridge. Call in sick to work. - Dr.B.

Are you fishing from the shore or a boat?

-Rich

Rich - When I only have a few hours to fish, I prefer hiking the shoreline. (My buddies call it the Batan death march) If you're in a boat there's the danger of navigating the river, plus it's really easy to spook the fish and displace them because they're moving in tight pods. So I recommend the hike. When I boat it, I prefer the canoe. Show up an hour before daylight, the bite slows around 9am, or show up late and fish the evening and into the dark. (Turns back on). This spring it was all white bass and no hybrids, this fall it's all hybrids and no white bass. Go figure. Hope you get to go 'cause when the water is gone, so are the fish, and they're pulling the hell out of that lake right now. One last thing, no access to these areas (by foot or boat) after Oct 31.

Not so on the access Dr. B- they changed that a year ago. The area is now open year-round.

Fishincreek - I would'nt have packed the truck, played hookie, and had an excellent trip if it were'nt for your recon on the water conditions. Thank you sir. The parking area below Palmer road was the big suprise for me this spring, but this news is blowing my mind. A year?! Sorry Rich for giving bad recon, but I was unaware of this change. This opens a fresh new can of worms for 'ol Dr.B. Thanks again Fishincreek.

Palmer was a shock to me as well. I honestly could not believe it. The new manager at T-ville has made things better for everybody(except the private landowners that used that area for themselves when it was closed!!) Are the hybrids relating to those riffles up that far?(I've only seen whites up that far)

[KyDr.B]

No sir. Sometimes they like that first riffle, we tried, but the fish seem to be schooled in the backwater. I'm going to try one more time on Sat., but I'm not sure if we got enough rain yesterday to hold them. 20 yards of river can sometimes make the difference between catching and skunking. (Tight schools, easily spooked, always moving, generally back towards the lake when they're pulling water.)

[fishincreek]

Gave it a try this evening. Water brown and still in the trees. Only saw a few shad flipping and only 2-3 topwater blasts. Had a LM slap a wakebait.
