Pierce Lake @ Rock State Park

Pics from yesterday 

Crappie time close to a dozen 9 to 11 inches, minnows and bobber

Well Panfish P i hope you called the DNR and reported that thief. No need for that kind of blatant behavior

buddy of mine fished below the dam on friday or saturday (not sure) and caught some whitebass on minnows and a couple catiush. unfortunately he witnessed a guy keep 2 muskies in the 30 inch range. he tried to catch up to the guy but before he could talk to him he threw them in his trunk and took off.

A few friends and I tried crappie fishing from the fishing pier where we normally have good luck.  No bites nothing.  The water is very dirty as others have said.

water still dirty, ( < 1 ft )   2 bass  both in 2 - 4 ft range.  still pale, prespawn.  be nice if the water clears soon.  good luck  RT :)

I just drove through the park an hour ago.  Did not see any damage or trees down.  Water fairly dirty from all the rain.  The Little Rock island near the dam is covered with water.

Tornado went
north of the park.I work just east of the park.We didn't have really any high winds there so hopefully the park is O.K. ​

Hope the Rock cut park is ok from all the tornado activity down there!!   

The water snake, although not venomous, is extremely territorial and can be quite aggressive, including biting.  Sounds like you’re not too comfortable with snakes, but I wouldn’t cozy up to it.
