Post Storm Cats At Willard

[MrShane]

Water level is stable has not changed in a couple weeks. The water is dirty but stable as well.

Obi, what is your guess how much lower Willard is now then it was in May?
If low enough I would like to go try to find my pole I lost in May.
Thanks!

Water is 10-11’ lower than May. Unless you were in less than 11’ of water your pole is still likely under water.

Thanks!
Sounds like it is time to go look for it, hoping a shore angler did not find it first.
Is water clarity even good enough to see in to water even 2-3 feet?
I was in appx. 8’ but zigzagging between 6’ and 12’.
It was not connected to a fish at the time I dropped it but I had just freshly reloaded a crawler harness when I dropped it so it is very likely the new State record Walleye picked it up and moved it!
Have not lost a pole in over 45 years since a little kid and then I lose two in ten days, one in Powell and then this one in Willard…

The water is pretty dirty, when we land fish I can’t see them at the barrel swivel which means visibility is only around a foot.

Dang, 1’ is all?
Winds have it stirred up?
Algae bloom?
Thank you for info!
