Greers Ferry Fishing Report 02/24/12

Most all fish are still relatively deep with the majority of shad.  Most are ranging from 18 - 28 feet in depths of 25 - 60 feet.  The north end of the reservoir seems to have higher concentrations of fish at present time.  These fish are located on the edge of primary flats, with or without timber or cover.  Fish Dinner Spoons, Smitty's Rig, Drop Shot and live bait methods are all producing fish with numbers varying everyday.  Water temperatures are  still in the mid to upper 40's but warming.  This last warm front did not push many more fish shallow or staging higher in the column.  Some baitfish are making there way up river but are not harboring many game fish with them yet.  However, it won't be long until we see a major migration of shallow fish that are willing to hold and bite.  South Fork, Devil's Fork and Middle Fork have been producing best for myself and other anglers I've talked to.  Good Fishin` Cody S.
