    a lot would depend on what the water temp is as far as the spawn goes.
    March and april are my favorite times to fish.

    even now they are catching good fish they are just really deep.
    Tablerock always has some good fishing just have to figure out how to catch them

    Totally dependent on the weather and water level, I'm expecting flood conditions this spring. Should be in spawn and pre-spawn modes with reasonable weather.

    They are all here. I think in general the smallmouth are the first to go on the beds. Table Rock can change day to day so making a prediction a month or 2 out is pretty much just a guess. Really depends on water temps and level.
    I'm sure we will have our usual spring rains but hopefully not too much, although some water in the bushes can be a good thing.
    Which part of the lake are you planning to stay on ?
