Water Conditions:
Crowley is cold and generally clear but not crystal. Uniformly 47-48 degrees F everywhere.

Fishing Conditions and Hatches:
Bait slingers and trollers failed miserably on Opening Day weekend and 100,000 lives were spared! Fish were everywhere but nowhere with no weeds or warm water to hold a good concentration any one place. Now that the "dust" has settled try west side of McGee, Leighton, Sandy Point and Hilton Bay off Pelican Point. All holding big fish but you must be patient. 12 to 20 ft. depth and spread out. Look for staging spawners at the north end, in Whiskey Bay and in Crooked Creek.
