    Should be good fishing. Indian and beaver creek cover water with spinnerbait/chatterbait/swim jig. Flatter banks and points

    crawdad colored crankbaits, white spinnerbaits, green pumpkin or watermelon plastics, shad colored jerk baits. if the water is clear its hard to beat a shad rap in shad.

    736 is a number you need to remember. At 734.5 water is at the top of the ramp. The parking area is relatively flat so once it hits 736 "ish" it becomes hard to unload. On Sunday 4/4 it was 734.41 when I unloaded and water was just barley starting to touch the parking lot. If it were to rise 2 more ft I doubt a person could unload there. The ramp at the dam is called Halcomb's Landing. A person can easily unload there. It takes extremely high water to make the ramp at the dam unusable.

    Currently the water level is stable with a very slight fall. This weeks weather calls for very little rain so it should start falling soon. Here is a couple different links to keep up with the water level. One link only shows level but the other link gives "anticipated" outflow and level of the tailwater.
