The run at Lake Somerville was waiting on rain.. this is the same thing that happened in 2009.

Creek fishing probably wont be worn a dang for a few days and they will probably shut the gates at newman's again. Lake came over 3" last night. The area got hammered with that storm. I imagine the creeks are gonna be on a hard and fast rise, very muddy fast moving water. Catfishing ought to be good though
If I fished for money.........I'd be broke.

Muddy mess will help keep the whitebass in the creek a little bit longer and maybe a few more will make the run up... The rain.. it's a good thing...

Fished the main lake this morning. I got there before dark. There was lots of commotion but it ended up being mainly carp, buffalo and gar in the shallow submerged vegetation. The shad spawn is progressing slowly. I saw more actual spawning along the banks than I have to date this year. Still not trillions yet though  The fishing was disappointing as everything was perfect for a great day. But the fish never showed. I did end up catching 2 white bass and a hybrid. Catching 1 keeper sized hybrid on the fly always makes it at least a good day. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-89995-180413-hybrid_042123.jpg)

Fished nails up and downstream of county bridge yesterday morning. Struck out and got bit by lots of mosquitoes. May have seen some spawning activity but there were a lot of gar swimming around so hard to tell. Not much current. After tromping through waist high weeds and grass and slipping down muddy banks and swatting skeeters I got into some sow WB at the feeder creek down the road. Some caught on a variation of the magical clouser. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-68775-181019-img_1995.jpeg)
