water temp between 48 and 50 degrees. Right now the bite is really tough. You really have to slow down and fish it slow. You can see down about 2ft.

Water temp was between 50 to 56 way in the back of owl creek. water clarity could see down about a foot. started off throwing a kvd 2.5 fire red color caught 2 or 3 on that. then I moved out and started fishing points with a kvd 6 XD and only caught 1. This time off year with the winter we have had what ever a person decides to throw needs to be fished slow.

Flipping a 7" blue Fleck Power Worm around lay downs. Lake was 14ft below full pool, timber was visible everywhere. Standing timber did not produce as well as the laydowns. Light wind required a light weight and 12lb Flouro line. Fish caught ranged between 1lb and 4lb. Productive day with about 12 fish caught
