Shooter -

Here is a report taken from the Ark G&F website http://www.agfc.com/fishing/fishreport_all.html - they are updated every Wed. There is usually an accurate report for Millwood by one of the local guides. This is the report for Millwood from 2-1-06.


Millwood Lake: As of Wednesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 259.43 feet MSL.

Millwood Lake Guide Service said the water temperature has shot up, with surface temperatures ranging from 50 degrees in the main lake to 60 degrees in the upriver oxbows. There is no current in Little River. Largemouth bass are reacting to the temperature change well. Some nice bass are being caught on 5-inch Bass Assassin jerkbaits, Smithwick suspending Rogues, ½- to 1-ounce Rat-L-Traps and 10-inch Power Worms in black and tequila sunrise. The best bite has been dead-sticking Bass Assassins, just casting it to your target and letting it slowly fall to the bottom. Watch your line closely for any twitch or sideways movement. On warmer days, you can find the active bass up shallow, right on the edges of the river. Whatever lure you use, fish slowly – if you think you’re fishing slow enough, slow down some more. Kentucky bass are still along the river and biting well around the creek mouths in 6 to 9 feet of water. Smaller Rat-L-Traps and Rocket Shads are working the best on the Kentuckies. Crappie have begun to spread out horizontally, and are moving into the shallows. The best bite is in the morning around cypress trees in water 4 to 5 feet deep.
