Truman Lake Fishing Reports

Truman Lake: 03/16/06:

We are catching crappie in the creeks along the creek channels.The best approach is to fish the mouths of the creeks and work your way in.Keep your boat in 15 ft of water or more and the fish will vary in depts.I fished Saturday, the weather was nice and some of the crappie were only 2 to 3ft deep in water 15 ft or more.the color we used was blk/char and we caught 2 good limits in a very short time.We fished all the creeks around Bucksaw and every creek held fish.The water is in great shape and is leading up to a early spawn.

Catfish are being caught on rod and reel,trotline,and jug lines using cut bait.Most are being caught on the flats leading into the creeks.Fish in water 10 ft deep and fish down 5 to 6ft.All fish we are seeing are bluecats and channels with some good ones in the bunch.Its worth your trip down.

Bass are scattered what fish are being caught are on jerkbaits in the lower lake. The best approach is to point hop looking for bluff ends.Fish the damn area.

If you are looking for a great time come down put out a trotline and then go crappie fishing it doesn't get any better than that.

We will be opening the marina and restaurant on march 24th come and have lunch or supper with us.The lodge,RV park and cabins are open now if you need a place to stay.

Keep in mind the spawn should start early with the weather we are having so plan ahead.
