around the wind creek area, or anywhere else? Not too much going on around the forum lately.

Had a guide trip yesterday. Marked lots of fish in the Wind Creek and Camp Alamasco area in the a.m., but no bites. The wind was blowing about 20 and the water was muddy. We later fished mid-lake in relatively clear water and picked up 4 fish to 10 lbs. With yesterday's conditions I felt lucky to catch that many.

Hey Wes,

The lake must have really been rocking on Wednesday! I went yesterday on the Kowaliga end and picked up three 10 pounders by trolling big plugs. I was using light tackle and didn't have a net man. Things got real interesting when I hit a double. Glad nobody was there to film that Chinese fire drill.

See later manos amigo.

By the Kowaliga end, do you mean Big Kowaliga, Little Kowaliga, or the basin?

Stripernut, I come by your office Friday morning a little after 8,no one was in. I'll try to get back over there soon. I am an electrician and we have been swamped with work lately. I have been hearing alot about the Kowliga area lately, not only on the forum, but outside of it to. Is there anything to this? Klint

Contrary to everything we hear, not all the stripes head upriver at this time of year. Over the last couple of years we've been able to locate some 'lost tribes' in and around the Kowaliga basin. While their numbers are not nearly so strong as they are near Wind Creek, there are still fish to catch.
Since the schools are so scattered, I troll to cover a large area and locate them. Start near the golf course and use your electronics. Good luck.

ProCraft,
Friday morning one of my Ph.D. students defended his dissertation, that's why you couldn't find me as I was in the conference room. I rarely fish the Kowaliga end, but I have buddies that do, and they catch fish (see Mountain Man's post above).

Fished on SCARAB MAN's boat yesterday in the fog, and the bite was pretty good up until about 11. We caught 7 (8-10 lbs) before noon and released all but 2. All were caught on mid-lake humps downlining shad. We also had a bunch of knockdowns and missed fish. Wish I was out there today, should be awesome.

Tight Lines!
Wes

I still want to hear some encouraging reports about stripes up my end of the lake. Surely they will occasionally stray up my way, or at least part of the way.
