Cody S. Smith - Fish Greers Ferry

Water is on the rise here on Greers Ferry.  Lot's of runoff and inflow from recent rains have brought the reservoir back to 461 feet.  With tough weather and fishing condition's very little boat traffic has been on the water.  Walleye are beginning to feed good shallow on minnow imitation lures and soft plastics.  Bass are scattered from deep brush in the backs of creeks and on main lake points along with very shallow water including the new run off areas which are rich in oxygen. Hybrids and whites are both feeding on the main lake and in select creek and river arms.  Not much surfacing but these fish are feeding on deeper shad.  As the morning wears on they will force the shad shallower in the column but not to the surface.  Depths of 12 - 22 feet over much deeper water have been best.  Happy Thanksgiving and Good Fishin`
