Thread: Any reports from Lake Overcup?

Dude where is this place at? 7 to 9 inches is my specialty.

When they had it drawn down a few years ago you did not need a good flow of electrons it was like catching fish in a barrel. There is no telling how many we caught out of there during that time. I've been back since and you can still catch some good ones. When the spawn kicks off I know what houses I will be sitting in front of.

Yep. The lake really took a hit during the drawdown. It is just now getting back to almost normal.

Matt:

You were right on with the rebound on overcup. There are some really nice fish being caught this spring. Good graph with DI, a map of the creek channels and creeping along at 0.5 mi/h will cause a guy with an 8 pole spider rig to reduce that to 4 poles.


Again, thank you for the post.

Where can one of these be purchased ? Found ?

There are some floating around, but none for sale that I know of.

I don't believe they are for sale anywhere either. They are older maps and I don't think copywrited. So if you find one I think you can make a copy. Hint - I have one in my office in Mayflower.
