Nolin Lake

[stupified1975]

Fished Nolin lake this weekend and it was awful to say the least. Fished all day Sunday with 1 fish. Water temp is around 45 degrees and I think the fish are still sleeping. Gonna be like a steer and keep tryin.

Same day...similar results. Actually caught one bass, snagged on in the tail with a jerkbait. SSSLLLLOOOOWWWW to say the least.

Heard Rough was the same way. Muddy and cold.

Yes it was slow...I was at Nolin yesterday as well. Only fished for about 3 hours in the afternoon and managed 4 fish, 2 keeper with one being 4.5 lbs.

I hear that, got a cabin up there, it's a difficult lake to fish and has skunked me quite a few times.

Take a right out of Wax, go under the bridge. Stick to the right and fish the entire along the right side. Big horse shoe, where the two islands are. Lots of good deep rock walls all up though there.

I pull crappie and bass out of there in 30* weather.

I fished Nolin saturday and got two bites. I went back yesterday for about 4hrs and caught 4 fish all were around 13 inches and caught on a shaky head.

What weight and presentation are you using on those shakey heads man?

[bigbasscatcher]

I'm using a 5/8 oz head with a 7 inch green pumpkin/chartruse straight tail worm and pitching it around timber,logs and rock. I was catching them in 5 to 7 feet of water.

Much appreciated man, coming up there in 2 weeks to open my place up and planning on wetting a line. I've got some shakey heads but never seem to use them LOL. I'll definitely give em a spin now though!

If the water is in the low 50's break out the rapala shad rap or similar crankbait and work around rock transition banks and maybe pitch a tube or jig around any wood during the day.

What's your favorite colors for nolin? I prefer anything chrome in cranks, white on jigs and spinnerbaits, and craw for plastics.
