Fishing Report

9/20/21:

Well folks the Bull Shoals Lake level is 659.78 which is where they want it this time of year and the generation has slowed somewhat. The Corps is running 1 unit from midnight to around eleven am then cracking it up to 6 units by three pmthen back to 1 unit by midnight. The fishing on the river has been phenomenal with lots of Big Rainbow Trout being boated. The go to baits are Redworms and Shrimp. The flyguys are using hoppers and San-Juan worms with midge droppers. The lake is producing walleye, bass and bluegills in the 30-40 foot range with trolling 3 ounce slipweights with crank-baits the best. Nightcrawlers of the bluff ends are working also. GOD Bless Tim & Pat Curtis!

Bull Shoals Lake level is 672.45 which is 18.5 feet above the old power pool and 13.5 feet above the new power pool level. The Corps is running water around the clock with most days the equivalent of 4-8 generators. Drift fishing is the way to go with power eggs and corn, redworms, and crawdads or shrimp the go to baits right now and scuds and San-Juan worms and egg pattern flies catching for the Fly guys. The lake is mostly productive in the 30-35 foot level trolling crank-baits and bottom bouncer's with nightcrawler harnesses at .85 to 1.0 MPH also dropshot for the Kentucky bass and bluegills and catfish. Remember to take a child fishing and make some memories! GOD Bless Hotdawg &Pat!
