Not yet. I haven't fished them since early January. Either the river was too high or my boat was in the shop (for much longer than anticipated).

I may try to hit Big Bone on Thursday afternoon. Water will be a few feet high but I'm anxious to go. I'll post results if I do.

Are you catching decent size fish at EF? I am not sure if I will fish it this year. I agree - the chances of 12"+ fish are much higher in the river creeks

Been catching a ton of short fish, last three trips i managed 8 keepers, 7 keepers, and this past weekend i had 16 keepers with 1, 11" fish.

I went to Big Bone Creek today... Tough fishing. Water was very muddy and 4 feet higher than normal. Not to mention lots of wind. Caught maybe 10 crappie and a couple bass but nothing too impressive.

Fish were mostly shallow.

Oh... And my electronics weren't working so no idea on water temps. Fish were hitting it pretty good when they could find it so I'd say next few weeks should be good fishing.
