Hmm where to fish on Thursday.

Fish the caney for monster trout? Never really tried it during winter generation when everyone says the big boys come out to play. I normally go at night during the summer.

Go to cordell hull for sauger again?

Or hit GSP up only been once this fall /winter.

Does anyone know if the walleye run around rock island has begun? I know it is alittle early for it though.

If I were guessing, I'd say it's too early for the walleye around Rock Island. It seems like all the talk has been that the run has been a little later than normal for the past couple years for some reason.

GSP might be a safe bet with the cold snap, but I'm sure it'll be crowded.

I would think sauger would be getting good soon.

I've been doing a lot of question asking and researching on the Walleye because I want to get into them this year. From what I gather, the run around Rock Island doesn't start until March-ish. If you decide to hit the Caney for trout, swing on down to Cookeville because TWRA is stocking Cane Creek Park with a few thousand trout tomorrow. Should be pretty easy to catch a limit and head home with dinner. I might go if I can get some free time in between class.

You would think, but I have not heard any good reports. I've been twice, both times were a bust.

Yea mid February to late April is normally the walleye run in general.

Cookville is way out of the way. If I wanted to catch stockers I got the duck that's like 15 from me. And the elk is like 30 MIN. Thereis a reason I drive 2hrs to the caney.

Cookeville is just 20 min away from the Caney, that's why I was mentioning it. I make that drive quite often! Well good luck wherever you go. Last time I went to the dam to fish at night I froze and missed one hit on a rattlin rogue but that's it. I know they're there, just wasn't my night.

That lake is just down the road from me so I decided to head there in search of the stockers put in yesterday. It was so cold there was ice accumulating on the rodtip so that eventually I couldn't reel past my knot where the 2lb leader was! When I finally found a bunch of trout, they were all very small, not even worth taking home so between that and the painful cold, I left. 28 degrees and wind blowing off the lake right in my face was not enjoyable. I'll try again if we get a warmer day!
