Well, just a few more days till Fork time. With the recent rains, are the boat lanes safe again, and also the guide lanes?
While I'm asking, how's the fishing? Should I be concentrating on shallows or stay a little deeper?

stay shallow and work the stumps

main boat lanes are good if stay tight to them, don't venture wide of markers there are still some obstructions just outside the lanes, some you can see and some you can't.

Down at fork now. Can run from the poerlines in birch all the way down lake and up to the glade in the boat lanes without issue.

Fishing is tough, but doable, we caught 9 today, biggest at 6lbs. Carolina rigs in 5 - 10 feet on points. 68 degree in coves, but no, I mean no, shallow fish at all.

We fished shallow all day and did well!

We fished birch and little mustang.... Soft plastics and 2.5 square bill cranks shallow, no fish. Carolina rig a little deeper was the trick for us on points and roadways leading to the bridges. Cody you found shallow fish, cool. Guess they were somewhere between the two 515 bridges. Going to give east fork a go in the morning.

guide lanes? are they ok to run?

I would be real careful in the guide lanes there are some stumps just under the water due to the recent rains

I'd listen to this man ^^^^
