Decided to do ½ day at Tara, glad I did. On water right at Noon. Fish feeding and males are getting ready to nest. Water 55-56. No dinks! Comarrants on water when I got there, They left quickly.
First fish probably 2 1/2
second fish (lb-oz) 5-2!
two casts later third fish 6-4!!!!!!
4th fish 3-11.
These fish came 12:30 to 1:30 3-4 ft water
rest of afternoon was sporadic got another 2 1/2er
Got a 5-0 and a 5-6 and wrapped up another 2 1/2er
I had my line broke from a big fish (didn't keep check o line for retie), must have been another 6+, dang it and couldn't hook a fish I know was over 5
Dinkerdoo’s started biting last hour (tick, tick, run, short strike). They were right on the shoreline
All fish above 3-5ft water
There is a house built on top of the hill overlooking g the lake now, 70% completed Lots of trees removed around launch area lots of work on the dam too, lees places for snakes to hide (and this lake gets pretty snakey)
Lake is in the best shape I have ever seen it There may be some grass trying to start to grow in shallow areas Water visibility a clear 18” and green . BTW it is full, barely running over drain
an absolute blast of an afternoon Thank you PWF and Landowner ! Tara is one of my favorite lakes!

You picked the right day to go
the wind today would have blown the water right out of the lake.
It's been awhile since a good report came from Tara, nice to see it's making a strong comeback..
Awesome day brother, thanks for the report
as always Tight Lines 🎣 🇺🇸
