DNR began filling O'dessa last Thursday. I went down on Friday, and Saturday without much to report, so I didn't. The water was still blasting through the gates too quickly for the Crappie to hold there in numbers.

Monday, the canal is getting closer to being level full at the walk over bridge, and the current is beginning to settle down some. DNR plans to shut some or all of the gates soon. Fishing above the foot bridge (river side) produced huge numbers of fish. Most were small fish though. I took home 25, and my best would have weighed about 12-13lbs for the top 10.

Pink was definitely big daddy! Glow Chartreuse had been good too. Midday - Clear w/purple and Blue flake was the producer. I did not take part in killing minnows, but man the mosquitos! LoL! I am still itching.
