The lake level is 562.09 and is still rising with very little generation. It should be 553.75 and the top of the flood pool is 580. The main lake is clearing and the creeks are still very stained. Surface temperature is still in the high 50's and very slow rising. The best bite now is white bass and crappie. Crappie have moved to the bank in the backs of the creeks to spawn and the males have already made their nests. Jigs, grubs and minnows are all working well. Flathead catfish have moved part way into the creeks and are biting on jugs and trotlines with live bait. White bass are the easiest to catch now and are in 45-ft. of water 25-ft. down are are biting on spoons and anything with a spinner. Bass fishing is just fair with smallmouth being the best. Finesse worms and smaller creature baits are working. Walleye have moved into their spring places and are near the bank in 20-ft of water on the main lake on the drop-off. Spoons and soft plastics are the best. Fishing is picking up and this has just happened in the last few days. Carp are in the back of Blackburns Creek spawning. good for bow hunters. Top water bite will start when the shad have spawned and that should have happened April 15th. Everything is slower than normal, whatever that is, do to the cool weather and cold nights. We will probably just go straight to summer. People are taking advantage of Blackburns Resort's low cabin prices as well as the selection of 30-rental boats and we are very busy. You can get a 1-bedroom cabin for $53/ day and a free boat stall. All cabins have covered porches for rainy days and to get out of the sun and none are duplexes. No charge for trolling motors on any of our boats. Compare rates before you book. Why pay more?
