Water on the Chic

[twitching]

How muddy is the water right now? What is your go to lure when it gets muddy during the winter months?

It's not too bad in some places but pretty muddy in areas like Harrison Bay. I fished in 2 feet of water at times Thursday with everything from a dark chatterbait - jig - spinnerbait - squarebill - trap - and a Beetle Spin ! It was more of a "go-to" whatever I could find that might catch a fish.

Thanks Muskrat for that update.

Was on the main Chanel last night and it was super muddy. The current was cranking too. Be careful of debris if you go out.

The Hiwassee River at Charleston was high and muddy last Wednesday (2-14) and all that water is feeding the main channel of Chickamauga. Has anyone been on the extreme upper end (Watts Bar TW) and noticed the water turbidity up there ? I was there on Tuesday 2-13 and there was 60,000+ cfs with gates open but good water clarity. I know it will be coloring up, with more spilling, but how much ?
