We shot it Friday night water clarity was great. The fishing wasn't , they just weren't up. The flats that are always loaded with fish and muddy were gin clear. I'm sure it will be mud from this rain but so far the flow charts are good and it hasn't come up any.
I agree Brock, the clarity is good, but the cold weather has kept the fish from coming up to spawn or pre-spawn.
 
Bald eagle creek looks like chocolate syrup about 25 miles up stream of the lake. Isn't running much higher then normal just dirty.
 
I just crossed over it at Milesburg, on I-80. Didn't look too bad and was maybe a little higher than normal, but didn't look too bad...Hope the mud either filters out before it gets this far or it may be fun come Saturday night.
 
I rode down after work tonight and checked three launches. An upper launch, lower launch and Hunters run. I also talked to three different guys who were pulling their boats out of the water to ask about clarity. It looked pretty good, the guys all said that the clarity wasn't bad. A guy that actually had Muzzy stickers on his boat gave the most information (he knew what i wanted to know) and said the lake all looked pretty good other than where the wind was beating the waves on the banks in certain spots.

If the fish cooperate and come up out of the depths, it could be a great shoot.

Hope to see a lot of guys there.
 
Thanks for posting the pics Ronnie, We came in at Midnight after my trolling motor decided to fill up with water and quit working...We took 5th with 19 fish, and I am positive we could have been in the running for winning if we didn't have a mechanical failure. Fish were hard to find, but we found the secret and could find 3-4 at a time, just few and far between. First place had 31 fish.

Thanks everyone who showed up and made it a great shoot. We will be having this shoot next year same weekend. It will always be the weekend before mothers day.
