This is a report from two days including 4/9 and 4/15.
Each session was about a half day and yielded five and six good sized fish each. I didn't photograph all of them but the photo's below will provide some samples. As always the biggest one got away managing to jump and throw my tackle leaving a bent hook in the wake of my sleigh-ride.
Conditions here were definitely different than last fall with clearer water and levels coming up sufficient to flood the brush covered shore-lines. Mornings were cold (in the 40's) and water temps were in the very low 60's depending on location. Along the non-beach edges there was about 7+/- feet of water where I sat against the brush/reeds that the water has flooded into. There were some good "islands" of scattered brush and reeds protruding near the edges as well.
Here are a few photos:
Biggest model of the two days...looks spawned out being all head and tail:
Another good one:
Some color and pattern variation at other end of lake:
Of course and as always with the LPB, beware the locals!
Enjoy!
