Gary L Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 We used the same basic lures when the Lake was at the top. Jigs, Tubes, and Worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Spinnerbaits are a great option, you may want to change out the blade and go bigger, don't be afraid of a size 7 or 8 Colorado. Big thick, heavy plastics with lots of bulk that will push water. Big jig/pig that will crash, bang and blast thru debris piles. Large deep running cranks that will really push water fished really slow. Color don't mean diddly by the time they can see the color they will have already eaten it. Man I love these kind of conditions, still trying to dry off before I go to work. Lots of flooded roads and parking lots down my way, and it hasn't stopped raining. If anything it may be picking up. The flow rate has more than doubled in little over 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don R Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Be safe out there folks. Plenty of unknown drop-offs and floating debris out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 35 years on the same flow and I still severly limit where I go in these kinds of conditions. Stay away from any steep or muddy banks with the flow at 50,000 CFS one slip could be fatal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bterrill Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Nar, just come to Indiana where the streams are all 22 cfs and the fish are biting like crazy. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
