mhall nailed it on the head with baby brush hogs on bluff walls. i fish barren alot in the spring. sometimes i struggle badly. but if you fish after a cold front and have some wind you will catch fish on the bluffs. be very carefull if running up the creeks if it has not came up to summer pool. skaggs is my favorate. you can catch fish in skaggs as far back as you want to go. bad thing about barren in the spring is the water fluctuation/temp. the bite can change huge over night. alot of times you can catch them on traps and jerkbaits when the water temp is around 50. when it hits that 55 degree mark you will catch them on spinnerbaits. what i hate most about barren is i generally have a tournament that falls when the water is high and they are on bed. i s*ck when this happens. anyone has any input on catching bedding fish on barren i would like to hear it!!!
