Well with all this high water around how long do you think it will take to get back being able to try and catch fish? Anyone thinking about going to different lakes than they normally fish if so where? Im tbinking migjt have to try the glenn or cedar bluff

don't think those fishes know how deep the water is just with all the new water might be harder to find??imo

Yes with all the water a lot more area for fish to swim in kinda hard to find but just got to go and fish. Great to see Melvern so high it has got to help the fishing there.

Larger lakes will take at least a month or two to stabilize IF they are dumping fast ; that is if we get no more rain. The county and state lakes around here should b fine to fish because they generally have an overflow which gets it done quickly. haven't seen any good reports on either lake. Are you a jig fisherman now?

I've been wondering the same thing and interested in how everyone will try to pattern fish. I'm personally on the mend from surgery on both knees so except for a little dock fishing I can only fish vicariously through reports on c.com and friends for now and when I am able to get my boat out I plan on targeting walleye. Of course that will always include some crappie fishing. I know one of my friends caught a few scattered crappie at HD in the flooded willows but no real pattern and the males were still wearing their tuxedos. I've been reading on other sites that now is a good time to troll crankbaits for crappie ( and a good way to catch a walleye too)and if they're scattered that would be a good way to cover alot of ground. Any thoughts guys and gals?? I'll be patiently lurking!

Any idea as to when you might make the run.......I would be interested in maybe meeting up if you do. I have a window of opportunity as I leave on another Motorcycle trip.... to Montana/Idaho the 22nd
