    Things can change quick there based on the power plant but when I was there Saturday the water was 43 at the ramp and the dam area. 48-49 was the warmest and the further you went up the hot side the cooler it got. Way up by the buoys on the hot side it was actually 39 degrees.

    I was there yesterday 2/5. Water temp at hot ramp was 44. Warmest water was 51. Went to cold side and it was 36-39 and I saw a few places with some skim ice in areas where there was wind protection. We caught around 30 fish and 4 keepers. No big keepers. Just keepers in the 18.5-19 inch range.

    Don't know about the bass but I've seen some pictures of some big crappie caught there over last couple weeks.

    Had first tournament of the year today on Newton. Fished tough. Plant has been broke down past two weeks. Entire lake was 48-49 degrees. I caught 6 fish all day. Several 17 to 17 3/4, only had one that would go over 18. 3.7lb, good enough for 4th. First place was our only limit, went for 13.xxlbs.

    Plant got back up and running Saturday morning. Perfect timing to warm out up all week for my Sunday tournament.
