I will contact my son (he lives on the lake) to see if he has heard of any reports about the fishing there. The water is so unstable, it's a constant "rain and drain" cycle, and hard to get around with all the stumps and sand bars. It's one of my favorite lakes, but I have been fishing Cypress and Black Bayou since the "cooler" weather has arrived. We have been doing ok there, but no big numbers. Looking forward to reading your reports......I will post what I find about Bistineau. My son works nights at FedEx, so it may be later today before I can contact him.
