The lake level is 157.54, normally 164.4. The water is clearing and the temp. is 64 degrees. The fish have been hitting Wacky worms, Rogues. and Carolina rigged Senco's pulled through the grass. All of this is happening in 8 ft. or less of water. Should start catching some Hogs very soon.

Spawn Time
The water is clearing up and is 157.44, with normal being 164.40. The temp. today was 61.3 to 63.0. Those are spawning temps and it won't be long before they will move up and make their beds. I went to the Canyons area today and the fish were biting Wacky Worms. They were slamming them and my first bite almost ripped the pole right out of my hand. I caught probably 10 fish in 2 hours.

Brand new information!
About 10:30 A.M. I went fishing today. I started in the usual place near the boat launch, with no results. I decided to go south of the 147 bridge. The water was much clearer there and about 58 degrees. Finally figured out that the biting fish were on secondary, protected points in about 7 ft. of water. I was using a crawfish pattern , rattletrap. Had a "6" on, but it's been so long since I've had a big one on a rattletrap that I forgot to keep the rod low and she jumped and threw the bait. Hurt my feelings. I also had a small fish on a fire-tiger Rogue. Ended up driving to the Harvey Creek boat launch and towed a $50,000.00 Team Skeeter boat with a 300 h.p. Yamaha on it, back to Monterrey Park. Lucky it was smooth out there today.

Lake level report
Checked on Corp. of Engineers sight and it said the lake is 155.58'. Normal, being 164.4'. I am trying to fix a few things on my boat while the weather is still cold, so my fishing notes will be from hearsay.

Too cold for me!
Went out at 11:30 this morning. The good news is that I can drive straight out now instead of having to follow the creek. The lake is up another 8 inches from last Saturday. But with the influx of all that water came 55 degree surface temps. With 15 mph. winds I could only stay out for about 2 hours. I only got 2 nibbles and decided it wasn't worth the effort. Water was dirty and cold. Hoping for better weather on Valentin's Day. I'll let you know.

Lake info
We got a lot of rain this weekend and the lake has come up to 154.83' ( and I think that it is higher than that). The corp of eng. takes the level early and we got rain until almost noon. The water was up 2 inches from yesterday when I arrived today, and when I left at 3:30 it was up another inch. Anyway, the water is stained badly and the temp. was between 58 and 62 degrees. Still haven't seen any bass on beds, but the water is so off color that you can't see them.
