Water is amazingly clear right now. Having to fish lighter lines. By the end of March it will be on. I fish it at least once a week pm as you get closer and I will provide some intel.

There were boats running all up and down looking for bites. I think we ended with 3 rats all day. I have heard from other guys that the grass kill has caused a lot of problems. Water was 55-57 when we were there. Should be much warmer now but not sure about the bite. A good alternative would be Lady Bird. Not sure about numbers but I have seen pics of some quality fish.
