Lake Water temp is 45-46.

Crappie are really starting to bunch up right now making them easy to catch.  Most fish seem to be on brush in 18-25 ft range. The last couple of weeks ive really started to check a lot of brush piles and have and seeing some massive schools of big crappie just waiting to eat a minnow or jig!  The crappie fishing will be very good for the next couple months with fish preparing to spawn in Early April.

 fishing actually has been pretty good. Water temps are pretty cold right now as a whole.  Meaning slow your presentation down.  Don't move fast use smaller baits and you can put some great catches together! There is a lot of 48-52 Degree water, but in a certain place there is up to 70 degree water and along with that some hot fishing! Creeks with stained water will warm up quicker than clear water.  One degree in the fish world is a big deal.  find the warm water and you may find some active fish.
