      they are holding water as far as I know...water color was good the wind muddied up some of the submerged Island stuff I was fishing..wish I could have at least seen ...more either of the 2 I hooked to know whether they were the right species..but they were hefty

      It's hard to say which way to go...I do know that fish stay in the "slow" side of the lake year round. It sounds like you did find some fish.

      Not at all Scott...water is up...looked right..I caught one short and broke off 2 fish up in the grass/bushes..I fished up by the dam...should have went the other ...more direction maybe

      I'm not sure about the conditions at Monroe, but Sunday I fished a smaller reservoir that had water temps around 52 deg. and the 6 pounder that I caught was ...more on a crankbaIt, in 7 feet of water. This tells me that they are starting to move to staging areas for spawning. I would start out a little deeper until mid day temps go up.

      sweet...I don't mind the idle if there's fish to be caught..any idea where the fish are in the staging process...water temps ?
    12. Scott S 0
      Yes....anything east of Cutright ramp is a idle zone.......that's the only problem fishing those two forks is the slow ride to get there, but it is worth it ...more in the spring.

      Thanks Scott..i keep hearing fast side and slow side so Im taking for granted there is a speed limit on parts of the lake..

      Middle Fork Salt Creek is a great early spring area
