I have not been in a while, but I've fished Cedar Creek since the 60's and it's fished the same this time of year for a long time. Here's some general tips to get you a few bites.

Fish docks on the north banks and protected areas. Use dropshot with a 4" finess worm like F4 Tornado or 4" Zoom Dead Ringer etc.. Plum, Redbug and Green Pumpkin, Finess Jigs Green Pumpkin or Black Blue also Shallow Cranks with Shad Patterns. Generally 2-10ft some dock owners will put out chrishmas trees and those will hold fish better.

You will be surprized how shallow some of the fish are even in winter. I have caught some quality fish under dock walkways in 2ft of water with 48deg temp showing on the graph.

You can also crank rocks/ Rip rap on the Dam and Briges, use a mid depth crank in shad pattern and slow roll just ticking the rocks. You can also run some flats with a Red Craw trap.

Good Luck & Tite Lines cheers

Yep. You will be really surprised how shallow they will be. Like no docks in the water.

I drove by there 2 weeks ago, and the public ramp by Logcabin was about 100' from the water, and the "water" was a channel about 10' wide and looked to be very shallow leading out to the lake.

I was duck hunting on the north end a few days ago and the lake has really come up since this last rain. I would guess that the lake is about 3 ft low now. If I were going fishing though I would get an accurate water level reading before going out.

I wish your guess was right.

Water Level

Lake is still a litte over 6' low. C'mon rain.
