This is a very informative article. It is too bad this doesn't pertain to the sauger fishing this year. Does anyone have any POSITIVE results to share with us about sauger fishing this year? Has anyone caught any good sauger this year? I know having the part of the fishing area on the Kentucky side of Meldah Dam off limits isn't helping matters any. I hear they are catching sauger and walleye below Cumberland lake.. a long drive but may be worth it.
