Post on the Grand Fishing Report Facebook group and send pictures of your kids, grandkids, spouse or favorite fishing dog out on Grand Lake. A small White Bass, a 2-pound Crappie or a big old Catfish, they want to see it.
Twin Bridges / Spring River
Not much has changed from last week, and there's still a tremendous number of fish up at Twin Bridges. With the watershed in Kansas and Missouri this high and saturated, the expected rain could bring runoff. That would muddy the river for a few days, but it would also pull more fish up. After the river comes back down, a lot of fish will move into the upper end of the lake.
Paddlefish from the bank
Game wardens will be patrolling at the low-water dam park in Miami (Riverview Park). Use a barbless treble hook and be careful, because it can get dangerous with everybody throwing big hooks and sinkers from one side of the river to the other. There have been accidents over the years. It's a tremendous place to snag Paddlefish from the bank, but if you've never been, go watch how it's done before you walk down the bank and try it.
Crappie
Haydn with Williams Guide Service has been catching a lot of Crappie on the Lucky Bug in Thunderstorm, even though the wind drove him nuts this week before the rain arrived. Fish shallow water from about 1 to 6 feet deep.
Matt Dodge
Friend Matt Dodge has been catching really nice fish on the USA-colored Swimming Minnow. John Lewis sent pictures of Matt fishing below the dam at Grand. Matt also caught some really nice Blue Cats off the bank with Shad in shallow water on the upper end, toward Sailboat Bridge. He always posts nice reports on the Grand Fishing Report Facebook group.
