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.
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.
Winds have it stirred up?
Algae bloom?
Thank you for info!
