The hydrogen sulfide is horrendous. Even below the dam. What causes that?

I was there Friday and Saturday and there is clearer water if you know where to go. The very back's of Rock,Cedar,and Caddo are great. If you are interested in catching good sized sand bass and small striper then Cedar past the last buoy marker is your best bet. Lot's of activity there. Small bass are in all 3 creeks. Have a great weekend.

It has been years since I have seen the whole lake a PK that muddy. I knew it was muddy when they had the flood gates open and the river was staying real muddy. Usually if the river is muddy from recent rains and they open a flood gate a couple of days after the rain, the river will clear up, this time it did not. Now since the gates have been shut, I think they are letting water out thru the COC (Controlled Outlet Conduit) and the water down that deep at the dam is clear so the river has cleared up nicely below PK.

That's good to know Tom. I may have to fish the river next time out. I just cant stand to fish muddy water. I would have never bought a lake house on PK if the water was not pretty. PK spoils you.

Was there this weekend. We stayed in the Possum Hollow area. The backs of the creeks are clearing up a little but the main lake is chocolate milk. We caught some schooling whites and small black bass. It was a good trip but the water doesnt help.

I was on the lake Yesterday. Still very stained. There's a big wad of stuff down about 15 feet according to my fish finder. Will take a couple weeks for it to sink to the bottom. In the main lake I still see lots of flotsam on top of the water.
I'm seeing some top water action on the lake from my balcony. Might just be sand bass though. I didn't fish this past week the lake was so ugly.

Was clear enough to swim this past week by the dam. I could see my feet. Didn't fish because my wife had friends out and wanted a boat tour. Didn't mark many fish in Neely. Spots that I had been catching one right after another were bare. Once the lake clears up I have some major scouting to do to find bait and fish.

It's getting better. Caught a bunch of Stripers today on shad. Kept 7 and two sandbass. Clear water is from South DD towards dam. Didn't make it to the dam.

That's great news. I'll be going out Monday. That will be my first fishing trip on PK in several weeks. That Costa Rica weather is for the birds.
