Good morning FNN:

This is very uncommon but the final day of the Mlk derby has been cancelled due to bad weather and low attendance. We will be closed this Tuesday Jan. 19th due to the extreme weather that is heading our way.

We will keep you posted on any furthre closures this week.

Stay dry.

Sounds like the troll bite is done for awhile. We should have a contest to see who can guess the time the lake spills.
Have a good day off.

Yeah, it gets pretty dirty witht eh runoff and all. The water from the feeder creeks often looks like molten milk chocoloate. If it rains hard enough to wash all of that muddy water out of the lake as soon as it puts it into the lake, assuming that the lake spills, the water would end up looking pretty good. Several years ago the lake rose 27 vertical feet and spilled in three days and looked really good when they opened back up the next weekend.

Funnest part of shore fishing after a front like this is actually the skiing. You just have to be careful of the mud at the water's edge, that's all. If the water is dirty, use more scent and shorten your leaders.
One of the fastest days fishing I've yet had was in water that looked like strong chocolate milk fishing with, of all things, a Kastmaster. I caught trout, bass and catfish like there was no tomorrow, just jigging it up and down right on the bottom. I just don't like the uneasy feeing of sitting in a boat and looking out at water that I can't see six inches through. It's like nails on a chalkboard or a high-pitched squeal.

We had a pretty decent rain today, I am sure they got a lot of runoff at Irvine. If we continue to get the storms this week, maybe the lake will fill completely.
