Water for the Pond


If the little pond the boys and I often fish is much of an indicator, water levels may be improving in North Georgia from recent summer rains -- including a seriously heavy shower this afternoon.

I suppose Forrest Wood Cup competitors are paying pretty close attention to rainfall reports and water levels in North Georgia. In three weeks they'll be competing for 1/2 million dollars on Lake Sidney Lanier, and the amount of rain that falls between now and then could have a major impact on the behavior of the fish and on the best fishing spots and patterns. Even on the pond, where structure fishing is not a big factor, we see a lot of changes in the fish's behavoir based on water levels.
