There is a very nice river to fish very close to you -- The Elk River running into Elk City Reservor. In the winter and spring some very nice slabs can be caught there. Like all places it can be feast or famin but some of the locals that are familiar with it and fish it frequently do quite well at times. Think Card Creek dumpes into the Elk close to where the ramp is. http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/lay...reek_boat_ramp
I've fished it a couple of times and when ever I hear the bite is on there I'm sure tempted to make the trip back down there.
Sure wished I had a river near by to fish when the wind makes it difficult being on the lake.
Anyhow good fishing and enjoy reading your posts.
