I went to lake Ferguson about noon today. The water was 32 feet on the gauge and was 51 degrees in the upper lake. The water at the waterfront was 48 degrees. The wind was high. It reminded me of the day back in the 70’s when Hal and I had such a good day. A good day it was not. I caught one bass on a Rapala DTF-3 that I stumbled upon by a skinny lone stick. There are rafts of sticks/limbs from the ironwood bushes that have died. They made a lot of areas unfishable. I’m not crying about the dead ironwoods because they were taking over the lake. Another result of the high water for the last 15 years. Home early.
