Tapps is still kicking out smallies. Went Wed. solo. Caught 17, including this beautifully colored 3 lber. All caught dragging a Carolina Rig in 20 to 24 ft of water. Then went again Thursday with a fishing buddy. I caught 14, and my partner caught over 20. Some caught on a Carolina Rig. Most caught on a dropshot with wacky rigged 4 inch Senco. All caught off shore. Sure sorry to see the county park close Sunday. Fishing is still very good.

How is the water level? Full pool, or down a little?

I don't know, I might stumble on a Musky and I wouldn't know what to do with it. LOL HaHaHa

Because the game department says the lake is being over crowded with smaller smallmouth, I have kept smaller ones in the past. But when it comes to the 2 lb plus fish, I always release them. The lake is close to full pool. But there was an article in the News Tribune this morning saying they will begin drawing the lake down appoximately 4 ft. Which compared to before is nothing. They said it would be refilled to normal levels by April 15th.

That has to be one of the best markings/coloring on a smallmouth that I've seen. Thanks for the report
