Greers Ferry Fishing Report 4/23/2013

Greers Ferry is currently five inches over normal pool of 462.04.  The bite really depends on the species and the day although catch rates are average to good across most of the reservoir.  Water temperatures are finally stabilizing in the lower 60's and fish are responding well. White bass are really good both in the creeks and rivers on swim baits and The Cindy K Spinner.  Crappie are in front of the bushes out to 35 feet of water and have been eating small to medium shiners.  Small mouth are on a terror once you locate them and get your timing right.  Some bigger Bronze Backs are coming off the spawn and starting to eat moving baits well.  Largemouth are in the spawn and pre spawn stages with select creeks and pockets holding more spawning fish than others on any given day.  The best bite on the reservoir is still to come for the walleyes.  I've been catching a few each trip from the bushes out to 32 feet, they are still not schooled up in there feeding location's adjacent to there spawning areas yet but it's coming.
