    Timing a trip this spring to Santee Cooper

    I came down to Santee Cooper a couple of years ago in early May. Fishing was OK but not great. I missed the spring bite for sure.
    When is the best time to fish the upper part of Lake Marion? I got pretty familiar with the Jack's Creek area. Is there a better area to hit?

    If you wait til the first of april , you will likely miss the spawn and see empty beds all over. Extremely crowded in Jacks creek area. Try Russellville flats, or Rocks pond area. Still crowded but not as bad IMO

    I'm going to be in West Virginia trout fishing in March. So I guess I'll skip going to Santee this year. I'll go to the Finger Lakes in May instead. Maybe next year.
