Default Pickwick Tailrace Report

This is the first time in over two years I have been able to fish in winter....meaning January though March because the past years have been recovering from surgery. My first day out was not so good. Started off on generator side and threw all I had for a couple of hours and got nothing. Then moved down river on same side but didn't catch the first fish. Then drove over to lock side and fished out until very late afternoon. Nothing there either except a bunch of 5 inch Gills that were down on the bottom in 20 feet of water and were so dull in color wasn't worth taking a pic of. There were about 10 folks over at the lock fishing for crappie but no one caught any at all. The water temp was 42 degrees and I saw no evidence of a shad kill. Just glad to be winter fishing again and will hit it again soon.



Regards
