Nolin river up 20'

[coombro]

looks like I have time to work on my boat now!!!

I was really surprised to see how quickly they dropped the lake last time. Don't tear into it to heavily. One week I went down and water was 7' above the parking lot at bacon Creek ramp. Next week it was right around summer pool. Hope they can repeat that.

lake was dropping and looked like it had drooped like 6" from 7:30am to around 3:30 pm. Water was stained, but not choc milk. visibility was around the 1 foot mark.

Crappie hitting on Pink and black jigs slowly fished.

Bass were caught on pig-n-jig combo and crank baits of about any type and color.

water temp was 59.2 at 7:30 am and got up to 64.7 at around 3:30 pm.

All fish were caught off the shore line , to about where the normal bank line would have been had the lake not risen.

Mr. Mills, thx for the report. Assume you fished Thursday? What area of the lake did you find the 1 ft visibility? Roughly how many crappie hits did you have in how much time fishing? Just got to the lake tonight and wondering if it will be worth fishing Sat/Sun. Lot more rain moving thru here tonight. Thanks

caught the crappie on the south end of the lake around Davis Creek area, close to Moutardier. Crappie never really started biting until after 12pm, fished from 12pm to 3:30 pm and caught about 30 fish.

Thanks again Mills...unfortunately, I ended up bagging it on Saturday with the weather and then spenst Sunday doing chores before heading home. Hoping to get back down one day this week before they start pulling water too hard and see if they are still biting.
