Fished Monday afternoon with another member. The lake was higher than I have ever see it. The metal ramp was not visible and the dock use mostly underwater.The visibility was 16”

and no surface vegetation was visible from the launch area.As it turned out the vegetation was a few inches below the surface and covered more of the lake than I have ever encountered.The trees/tiimber 10 yards out from the shore line had grass coming up within 4” of the surface. Other than the middle of the lake vegetation seemed to be everywhere..

We located fish right on the shore line and edge of visible grass.Fishing weightless creature baits in wat/red and dark green accounted for 75 % of the fish. Nothing from the standing timber. We fished both major coves. The dam did product fish also including the largest.

We caugth 39 bass and removed 17 of those.The largest were 3 ½ ,3 ¼ and 3 bls
