Barren Report

[00SKEETER]

I have a dumb question.....where are spawning flats on Barren. The only flats that I see are mud/clay bottoms. Don't the fish need a nice hard bottom such as pea gravel/sandy bottom to spawn on?

the flats your talking about are everywhere
come see the lake at winter pool some time
and it will give you a better understanding of the lake

look to the banks opposite the old river channel.

Fan out the silt down to the gravel. Lots of spawning flats on Barren that are primarily gravel.

Add in a stump or log or brushpile and so much the better. I know of a great sloping flat that leads to a drop of about three feet. The drop is no more than about 200 yards long but it holds alot of fish. I am sure alot of you know where I am talking about.
