This time of year, I'd fish the newly flooded brush in a stillwater area. Anywhere the sun can warm the shallow water.
Does any one have any tips for fishing high and rising water. Fishing marktwain lake, mo., lake just jumped 13 feet in the last few days.
Feathers, Fins & Fur. catch it, kill it, fry it or grill it

Fast rising water fish the inside edge of trees fast fall fish the outside edge. Thats what I have learned fishing Mississippi River oxbows.

I Fish in the flooded areas..5-6 ft. deep. I think the high water flushes out all the bugs and worms from the ground (previously un-flooded) The Crappie love to savor the slower moving bugs and worms..
It looks as though southern IL and IN. are totally flooded....
KY lake above summer pool also..
Good Luck...
Good thread.
