I spent about 45 minutes fishing on Birdsong Creek yesterday afternoon (Birdsong is about 15 minutes from downtown Camden). The Tennessee river system is swollen and quite muddy. I was there about 20 minutes when a couple of TWRA officers pulled up on me to see if I was catching anything ( I wasn't). They cautioned me to be super careful as they had seen a lot of log jams and partially submerged logs while patrolling. They were super nice guys who ended up giving me a map of the agency's deep water fish attractors. They also told me that the fishing had been slow due to the swollen water from all the recent snow and rain. I fished about 20 more minutes and called it quits. The air temp was 63 degrees and the water temp was around 43 degrees where I was fishing. Although I never got a single bite, it should start turning on within the next week or so if we continue to get this warm weather.

 Thanks Joe for the Report.   LOFR

good report Joe;; and you got a map with some fish attractors from the twra!!  cool!!  just might come in handy!!

[Joe Gill]

Thanks Carl. I've also been trying to pick up a Benton County map each time I go there. I should have several maps by the time the rendezvous is here.

[Keith Ritter]

Hey Joe go to the Chamber of Commerce to get local maps. Meant to call while you were down this way but I was to busy to fish anyway.

[Joe Gill]

Yes sir to that Keith. The trouble is they only want to give me one at a time. I assume that is due to the cost. I'm also picking up one at a time from the public library. I should have at least a dozen by the time of the Rendezvous, as long as they don't get wise to me before then... lol.

[Joe Gill]

LOFR, I'm gonna try to find a different area every week while I'm in Camden. I'll keep you posted as to what I find.

Also, am I right to assume that most of the Rendezvous attendees will be fishing from a boat or do I need to scout some bank fishing spots as well?

[Lord of the Fly , Rods]

Joe , Thanks for all the effort , I assume most will be fishing from boats but if you can find some good bank fishing that can be an option.  LOFR

[Keith Ritter]

Hey Joe, I'll get my driver up there to round some up too. He may have a stash. I you are looking for a place to bank fish try the lakes in the Natchez Trace State Park down the interstate from Birdsong. Brown's Creek is my favorite. 

[Lord of the Fly , Rods]

  49 day left to KLR 2015 , temp in the lake has jumped 1 whole degree, to a whopping 45 degrees, at this rate they will be biting like Pit Bulldogs at a Postman Convention by the time of the get together.  LOFR

[Joe Gill]

Makes me a little teary eyed just imaging that LOFR. Btw, how many are confirmed so far?

[Lord of the Fly , Rods]

At this point we have 10 confirmed and 6 maybees . We are going to have fun and fish , and food.  LOFR
