PWF member Mike Svoboda and I fished Rough Creek Lodge Saturday afternoon, March 1st.  Light wind and warm temperature when we started out, but a small front came through mid afternoon and the wind picked up for the rest of the day.  Water temp in main lake was high 50’s and in the creeks, low 60’s.  We caught 41 Bass between the two of us, all of them in the creeks.  Jigs worked best, but also caught them on spinner baits and lipless crank baits.  The fish were all up and down the creeks, with a lot of them right out in the middle.  Lake level is still down 4’-5’.

I fished there just before you guys did, but with 30 mph winds.  Was I the only one that thought the new dock at launch would be under water when the lake returned to full pool?  I remember the water being up into the weeds 4’ above present water level, but that would put the new dock under at least a foot of water.
