Maybe I'm misunderstanding you T-fly but I'm pretty sure you meant Lavonia, correct? Just trying to help homeboy out

oops.... Lavonia yes.



Started at 8 am today. Sandbass were on the roadbeds but had lock jaw. Tried multiple times, but would only eat live minnows or shad today. Still loanded close to 50 sandies....

Since they were slow, we hit the crappie. Steady bite today and not a crazy bite every time you drop. We actually had to wait 15 seconds before we got nailed most of the time. So, it was steady today and I have no idea whow many fish were boated. 100's is all I can say.









I found some Black Bass as well.





Saw another dead striper today. this one was 24-25 inches. That makes 5 total dead ones in the last week or so..... All healthy and fat. Lake might have turned but I dont see any other signs that it did.

29 inch Rainbow Trout. Pics and full report in the fly fishing section.

Caught a bunch of big fish at the Lower Mt. Fork River yesterday. We landed well over 100 trout with 15-20 being over 21 inches.

Good lord... What a trout...


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Today was a very windy day on Lavon. As we were scooting along the lake I asked what they wanted to target and they said anything that's biting best. So, I checked out my road bed I always fish for sandies, and they were thick! Catching doubles on every cast for a bit then the air pressure started to rise on us and shut it down, so we went for a few crappie after that. Landed crappie, sandies, yellows, largemouth bass, blue cats and channel cats, and a drum on the road bed. After we got a limit of the sandies we played with the crappie a bit and got about 15 of them in an hour or so and then the wind picked up over 20 mph and blew us off. Good day. All on chartreuse 1/4 oz slabs with a small jig above it. Crappie were hitting in 15-20 ft of water. I have been guiding trout in Broken Bow for the last few weeks, so I'm sorry for the delayed reports. But again, the sandies are still doing their thing!

$99.99/ per person gets u fish in the freezer!

Crappie were not helping me at all today. Good thing my clients asked about Sandbass fishing before we left the dock. After two hours of beating deep water brush and rocks for crappie, we only landed 8. But they were all 12-14 inches.

Gave up on them and went looking for some sandies. Look at the firs road bed with side scan, cause u don't want to motor over them or they will spook. The first one was void of fish, so on to the next one. First cast produced two sandies on one rod. When on like this for a couple hours, and then they vanished. They took home a limit of sandies and 7 keeper crappie. Slow day but steady in my world. Tomorrow should be a one hour limit if the air pressure drops down a bit. It was pretty high today at 9 am, 30.30

I like it 29.85-30.10

Slowly falling or rising a point at a time, like:

29.97
29.96
29.95
29.94........ and so on.

If it falls two points or more every hour, the fishing seems to be always slower. If it's to high or even to low, they will shut down. Nothin you can do about it, but it will tell you a little reason to why ur not catching anything. If it's 30.40 and above, I will cancel your trip. Not worth the time to fish high pressure systems. The day after a cold front is always a blue bird crystal clear beautiful day, but 99% of the time the air pressure sky rockets and the fish get affected by it and will get lock jawed.
