    Yes, muddy all over....fishing pretty good though. Lots of fish to be caught shallow. Chatterbait, crankbaits are working well. TONS of floaters so be careful.

    I live on the lake and fish it regularly. One knocker rattle baits, slow rolling bigger colorado bladed spinnerbaits, and jigs pitched next to anything that even remotely looks like it could hold a fish. The fishing is pretty good right now and you’re apt to catch a bigger one to boot.

    Don't be afraid of the dirty water either....the fish don't seem to be bothered by it.

    Turned cold last night but the highs tomorrow are low 60s. Should be a little more comfortable. Calling for rain Thursday.
