Lake Elevation at Normal Pool: 654.00 Temperature: 50's Outflow: 730 cfs Level: 8.00 feet low Report by Wilderness Trail November 27, 2000 Largemouth bass have made two moves this week. In the upper lake (Theodosia and Lead Hill) they have moved to the steep chunk rock banks and channel swings. On windblown banks spinnerbaits and crankbaits are working well. On calmer days fish brown or green pumpkin jig and pigs and glimmer blue, smokin' shad or baby bass flukes. The other move they made was to the deep forest throughout the lake. A number of quality fish are being caught in these trees that are located in 50 t0 60 feet of water on silver and white spoons. Smallmouth bass continue to hold on pea rock and chunk rock points. The bite seems to be best in the afternoon. The fish are evidently moving up during the day. Tube baits and Spider Jigs are triggering a lot of strikes. Best colors have been Crooked Creek's 87SG or 119S in the tubes and green pumpkin or gourd green in the Spider Jigs. Kentucky bass are in their winter pattern you can catch some along the channel swings on grubs or tube baits but the football Kentuckys are in the standing trees in 50 to 65 feet of water and they are slamming silver CC or Mann's spoons. There are different ways to fish a spoon; this week the fish would only hit it if was laying on the bottom. Walleye were spotty this week but some nice fish were taken in the eight pound range. Numbers of smaller fish, 16 to 19 inches are still in the creek arms, biting on nightcrawler harnesses with gold or chartreuse/orange blades. The nicer fish were caught on the main lake flats long lining Bill Norman's DD22's, color 150. Crappie The crappie anglers had a great week working brush piles in the creek arms with white or chartreuse crappie jigs and minnows. Best bit has been in the morning. Trout on the White River are still on a big feed. Berkley fluorescent yellow or white Power Eggs and Belgian red worms are both working great. With generation flow, gold Little Cleos and gold Vibrax Blue Fox spinners have been the best. Fly fisherman had a good week with olive Woolly Buggers and gray sow bugs and scuds. The few nice Browns that were caught this week came from the White Hole area on Gold SR5 Shad Raps. Remember to keep only what you can eat and release the rest for another day.
