BuckSlayer........I've been wondering the same thing. With this rain, if it don't all soak in the ground, it should raise the water a little. My wife and I haven't been down to fish the tail-waters for several weekends now, but it has been on my mind.

Same here it has been on my mind for awhile now just havent had time do get down there been lookin for that buck still but ill get down to the dam soon and see what its like.. heard some guys catchin some but no size yet..ill let yall know when i go.

I went down on sunday, water levels were about 30, which means about 10 feet over the platform. I prefer the water levels about this high, that why I went. However, the water was muddy, hot chocolate muddy, so no hits. With all this rain and snow it will be a while before its fishable.

How about a bump on this topic, anybody been sauger fishing this spring? It should be about prime time to hit them in bunches below the dams! :biggrin:

I caught 40 at RC byrd this past week in a period of 3 days, most I caught was 26 in one evening. They are pretty tough to catch right now. Im off to FL this week so hopefully when i get back it will be better.
