Don you just got a taste of what it's like down here all summer long and I've seen some years this pattern lasted into November. Brian has fished this lake long enough all he needs to do is look at it and knows where they should be. Thanks for the report guy's.

Deep Fork River rose approx. 30 feet in our stretch of river and maybe more. The river rose higher than I have seen it in 59+ years. My mothers house was within 4" of a catastophe. She was trapped but then the river started to recede. No one will believe me unless they have seen the house and where it is located.
Get the stink bait ready because the river IS going to rise like you have never seen before.

Glad your mother and her house were okay in the end!

What is a laydown?

Hey Peke,
A laydown is either a tree or tree top that has fallen in the water. For example, you might see a stump or log laying in the water. You may only see a small part of the log, but you know the branches and the top are out there, laying there underwater. Or, you may see tree that has the top broke out of it. You know that top is laying somewhere close around the base of the tree.
Yesterday, Brian and I probably caught way more fish on structure we couldn't see than stuff we could see. You just have to judge about where the branches or the top of the tree would be.

Fished today
I was able to get out today and fish by myself for a little while. It has been a long time since I was able to get out and play around with a new technique this way I don't have to here anyone complain about not catching any fish. So this evening I decided to push crankbaits(Spider -rigging them). I tried the technique for about 2 hours without much success, but I later learned I wasn't running them shallow enough. I switched to the huckabee pattern on the rip rap and ended up catching 27 for the evening, if you were 2ft from the bottom you were getting bit. The fish were tight to the bottom, in 8-10 FOW. I was fishing beavertails and vibra king tubes. Black/pink was the hott color. To my surprise the water on the north end today looked pretty good. It was 4-6 inch visibility. I will save the crank bait pushing for another day! lol EB
