Wow lake will crest on 6/30 at 625.0

Yeah, the news showed some areas got 8" up there?!!!!

It's already on the steep incline . . . crazy year. I'll probably get up there in a few weeks to try the summer bite. Fishing for small cats should be good right now up in the rivers.

The whole place is turning into a mud hole.It would be nice if it was this high during duck season,I got some spots when it gets this high.

You will be able to see how fishing is after this weekends crappiemaster tournament.

I refer to it as the dead-tree-mudhole anyway. I'm usually in North Fork, which seems to be the murkiest at all times. Agree on the ducks . . . after all the trees died in 93, it has to get super high to get into any areas with decent food . . . leaving you with the standard mud flats and tree rows to hunt in and watch them land in the middle. As always, I'm sure they'll be dropping it down in September to the winter levels, exposing the flats in time for the crop of cockleburrs to sprout. At least the teal like mud.

We stayed through monday and the lake rose everyday it seemed.
Lots of complete tree trunks all over the place floating.
Fishing was good in deeper water 15-30 ft around points and cliffs.
Fish were about 13 ft down and liking the minnows.
Lots of quality fish but we didn't slaughter them.
Got a limit a couple of times and nice stringers on the other days.
When they finally settle out and move to the trees it will be pretty good over ther I think. :D
