Thread: D'arbonne Fishing Updates

A very good Question --- A week and half ago the temp was 50 and we have had several warm days and only two nights in the 30s --- Monday night between 10 and Midnight we got 3 inches of rain... Up Corney way the water is always cleaner , but all the muddy water coming down Middle Fork and the Bone Bayou will get things stirred Up. Folks are catching a few from the Channel edges but the Shad are Vacating the channel for the flats -- Bring Minnows

Can someone give me the latest water temps? Is she muddy, slightly stained, or clear?? If you like to send me a PM instead, I fully understand. Any other information that you would like to share is greatly appreciated. Been watching the water levels, and she is just a bit over normal pool.

Thanks,
Brian

Lake is a couple of feet above pool, water temp is around 52, water clarity is moderately stained. Anything else just holler at me. We been getting a LOT of rain and wind.

I'm only seeing a lake level of 81.4 ft as of 08:45 a.m. today. Normal pool level is 81.00 if I'm not mistaken.

You are correct, water level has been fluctuating so much here lately I guess I havent noticed. At my ramp if the water is up to the pier then it's high lol

Normal Pool is at 80 Feet -- the forecast is 4 to 6 inches this weekend and it will be enough to close the ramp at Stowe Creek and water in the Parking Lot at 33.. There was a Crappie Tourney Monday and I had a Dentist app. -- I stopped and talked to Two men that said those that caught were catching smaller fish on the channel Edge and they did not find fish on the Flats -- Both of them was running Live Scope Sonar

Fellas, not trying to be argumentative, but the lake level website above states that normal or full pool level is 81.00 feet.
We were down there last year right after the Crappie Master's and the lake was very close to being closed down, it was over 83ft.

Crappie Master's has been in town most of the week pre-fishing for the tournament that begins Friday.

I use NOAA by the National Weather service that shows all River Gauges and Lakes on the National Maps -- I dont know how to Post it Here but the Predicted level will be at 82.5 feet on the 25th
