Looks like another week of rain...

It looks like another week of rain. They posted a flash flood warning on Monday night that extends through Thursday night. They are predicting rain through next Monday with percentages starting at 80% for Tuesday decreasing through Tuesday. But, they have been changing the weather forecast continuously for the last month or so. Evidently, the weather is very unstable in the Oklahoma/Texas area.

The waters will continue to be stained more than usual until the rain does stop for a little while. I, for one, am ready for the rain to stop and the waters to clear up so we start fishing the waters normally again.

Parts of Oklahoma got over 6" of rain...

There were parts of Oklahoma that got over 6" of rain last night and this morning. It stormed in Tulsa all night and into the dawn today. My rain gauge had 8" of rain in it when I looked at it today.

The lake I usually fish is a clear water lake, but it looked like chocolate milk today when I drove by it to check on it. The ground where my boat is parked is so soggy the trailer tires are sunk into the mud about an inch.

I probably won't even try to go fishing until next week when the lake has cleared up a bit.

Got the web site updated and the newsletter sent out...

I got the OBF web site updated and the June newsletter sent out.

I will be adding some more articles as I get them so you need to check back often to see the new articles.

I am also going to add more Tips and Tricks articles this month. I will also put them in the Tips and Tricks forum too.

With us getting some nice days without any rain I am hoping that the lake I fish will get clearer so that I can start fishing it like normal again. I have been fishing lures that made noise and big soft plastics that could move the water so that the fish could feel the pressure from the lures movement.

Don't forget to print off your copies of the log pages and start keeping a log of your fishing trips. You will find these really beneficial in later fishing trips where you can look back and see what was working or was not working at the same time of year or the same weather patterns in years to come.
