[bassworm1]

I read they were dropping it?anybody know if the fish are spawning or are they post spawn now.Is there still grass in the upper end? I got buddy thats going to be there and if i can get away im going with him i havent ben on the lake in about 8 years and was hoping to be able to catch some fish with him.

You'll be hard pressed to find anything but the shoreline to 3' depth willow/cane grass. No matted grass like there used to be since the flood. What is your definition of upper end? Fish are in all stages now, this weekend should be a good one. Week before last water in the mid-lake area/Cages Bend was just touching 60 degrees.

Thanks Buccaneer ive been from the dam to bledsoe creek

I would think Bledsoe should be on fire. I consider upper end to be steam plant to little Cedar Creek above the 231 bridge, beyond that all the way to Cordell Hull dam its essentially a river and striper fisherman's area. I would also be willing to bet Barton's Creek and Spring Creek would be well worth spending time in.
