Table Rock Colors

[Jigging15]

I will be fishing a company tournament next weekend on the kings river arm. It is a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish foundation. I have never fished the Rock before and was wondering what colors were good for the clearer water. I will be starting out of Kings River resort. I here the Viola area is good. Any tips or advice would be helpfull. Thanks

The resort is only a mile or so from the viola campground and ramp. On my mapsource map it looks like theres a few nice little coves just south of the Viola area. And a nice channel swing with fallen timber just past the coves. I am going down on Thrusday so may have to use some gas first day and and look around.

I'm assuming you are talking about a Crappie Tournament.
On the James River Arm which is stained like the Kings, two colors that work great for me are Black/Char and Orange/Char. If it's a cloudy dark day, dark blue/black and grey are good colors.

Not sure on bass colors.
In the spring I always throw a #9 Black and Grey Shad Rap if I'm fishing for them.

Yes it is a crappie tournament. I was glad to here stained in your responce. I am use to fishing truman and it is always stained at best. I was worried about it being real clear which is something I have not fished before. I had always heard of tough fishing there because of clear conditions. I was looking at my map system again and found a large island with cover and a channel swing at the mouth of the Kings river arm where it meets the White. Looks worth checking out.
