Truman on Thursday .. any advice?

[billd2626]

I've never fished Truman and my buddy I'm going with tomorrow has only fished it a couple of times. He said he usually puts in just north of Tightwad on the Tebo arm. I just found out we're going and haven't a whole lot of time to go back through the posts too much .. so, for you Truman guys .. It sounds like it's better to put in at Bucksaw or would the Tebo arm be OK? I've heard black/chartreuse is usually a good color to start with on Truman? Any other suggestions for a Truman newbie? Anybody going to be fishing tomorrow?

Thanks in advance.

bucksaw straght across on the bluffs is been good to use last weekend

I think we'll definitely try those bluffs .. thank you!

I printed out a map and read back through a bunch of Truman threads and got some good information. I've heard Truman can be a little tricky to navigate .. if you're not familiar with the lake, how dangerous is navigating from Bucksaw down towards Hay Creek?

Thanks so much for any information you can provide.

The run from Bucksaw to Hay creek can be pretty tough if yo dont know the lake, suggest taking it easy or find someone to show you the way.

Upper grand sucked today, only ended up with 7 crappie and a big old carp........ to get your lake directions right, from bucksaw to hay creek is up not down......... I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't been there before, it isn't bad but one mistake could sure ruin your day........... good luck......

Not to sway your decision, but wasn't there a post recently on here about someone having luck out of Windsor Crossing? Maybe Clear Creek or the bluffs/creek channels through there.

Forgot to mention Brush creek on Tebo at Windsor Crossing. Not sure where they said they were at on the Tebo arm but my guess since it was Posey is that it was the mouth of Brush creek. My advise besides what I sent you in a PM would be to stay above the dam. They were whacking them below the dam on LOZ the last 7-8 days. We go down and they pulled LOZ down over a ft since yesterday. Sloooooow and little fish rigging down there this morning.

It's a tough time to be going for your first trip to Truman. Good luck. Posey is a good one to let you know what is going on with Windsor Crossing/Tebo.

Fished Windsor Crossing (Brush Creek) last Friday...and caught some really good fish on the flat to the right just as you enter, the bite was only good about 1/3 of the way back, then it died. Also Little Tebo Thiebald (SP) point is dong pretty well.
