[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5675154, member: 5695"] Maybe it depends on the fishery and the species. Before the Asian carp invasion, when the MS River was an incredible bass fishery, the river falling .2 or .3 feet a day was optimal. If the river was rising, you might as well stay home. A slow fall would position the bass so predictably it was almost automatic. You knew where they were. Rising water scattered the fish and made them very hard to catch. I know some old timers in their 80s that are excellent bass fishermen and have been fishing the river all their lives. They wouldn't even go when the river was on a rise. A quick internet search brings up lots of articles about the challenge of fishing rising water. The crappie fishermen I know on the reservoirs I fish in MS hate rising water. You can still catch them, but the lakes tend to get muddy from the influx of water coming in from the rivers and creeks. Apparently it's different on the East side where you guys fish. [/QUOTE]
