Thread: More rain ! Too much water

It will be a month before fishing gets good around here and we didn't have as much rain as you did.

It never gets good around here David !!!!!

Pack-up it's time for a road trip.

The rain ran us off the lake today. We have had our share of rain this spring

I found a website last year........can't seem to locate it now........that shows history of lakes, and Nimrod has been 20 feet high most of the time in April, May, and into June........every year except last two. Not sure why that lake fluctuates more than all the others, but it does. One year it was high so long because the Fourche couldn't go anywhere because the Arkansas was high because the Mississippi was flooded..........and it stayed about 20 feet high for months.........and finally stabilized and cleared at that depth, and we caught fish. But when the flow is going, and the lake is a mudpit, it sucks (for me). I'm sure you pro guys can catch fish in any conditions, but I can't in high, flowing, muddy water.

I've fished Nimrod since the stop sign was on the tree as you enter the river channel out from Carter Cove. I always measure 'old timers' on that lake by whether they remember the stop sign!!

Here it is. Look at lake levels for March, April, May, and June for last 6 years.

July 1 till deer season, the lake is normally fine.
