What is the current water conditions? Color and floater mainly. Want to get out and just run the boat.

Not bad but I would stay on lower end since you are just out to run boat. Color was dirty last week with better water in nutbush. Temp was around 46
As of 27 Feb @ 1500 its at 309.74. Up, down, up, I don't care what the level it is I would just like it to clear up a little.
Was considering fishing Kerr tomorrow and just checked the level was 309.13. Anyone fishing it tomorrow and if so what ramps are open?
I'm assuming Eastland creek is under water as many others..
Northbend might be my best bet and fish lower levels, however I want be able to get under bridge at nutbush.
Hibernia is open. Think im going to go to gaston to break in the new motor and fish a little.
Does anyone know if Eastland creek ramp is open?
Called automated number Eastland Creek as of this moment is not closed.

I believe eastland is 309.15 and right now they have it turned steadily dropping. So I would say eastland would be open.
Eastland was open Monday. Pretty steep ramp. Should be able to launch at 309'. Hope you don't have the wind we had Monday. The pier at Eastland was almost impossible to walk on. It was whipping like a snake because of the white caps. And even Nutbush is muddy. Hope it gets back to normal soon.

Rudds Creek was closed on Friday when I drove to Clarksville.
Caught one today, 2lbs in back of cove off main lake. Water temp was 45.3 at ramp at eastland. Minor stain compared to main lake looked like chocolate milk. Caught on bandit 200 brown/red bottom craw color.
How is the lake color these days? Rudds, Grassy or Nutbush? Not worried about being high, just not wanting to fish mud. Thanks
Back half of nutbush was fine yesterday. Main lake muddy Eastland Creek stained. I went there for my first time and managed to catch 3 fish and 1 was 4lbs 11 oz.

I like Eastland Creek
Thinking about goign to there or Gaston this weekend.....might just have to go fish the Chick River
I'm thinking Eastland and then run to Nutbush or head to the Chick. Just somewhere.

I was there yesterday, launched out of Flemingtown and went to the southern tip. Muddy as all get out. Wish I would’ve stayed around the ramp since it was a little clearer. Had two bites all day
