Weather
Short cold blast then warm nights/days — no thermal shock/gulls yet; Twin Bridges still open (often iced by now). Mild stretch through Christmas expected. Join GrandFishingReport.com Facebook group for Twin Bridges pics (Elk, below dam, Hudson, Spavinaw, Eucha count as Grand area).
Catfish
Peak ledge — upper 20–50 feet, south 30–100; nice keepers to eat.
Twin Bridges / soft plastics
Swimming minnows and ⅛ oz Scrounger + 2½" Lucky Bug on bottom (crankbait wobble) crushing whites and Crappie — small Scroungers still “mysterious” here. Live Motion minnows (3½" and 5½") built for that rock; DOA plastisol (animal-fat based). Baby Hoey 10", Sneaky Snake 8½", Roland Martin Salty Sink, trout worms. New Tie2 jigheads — top + bottom loops so you don’t knot two loops; dropper length exact; 1/16–¼ oz. Push-button spin-cast combos and 4'6" micro-spin dock rod for Christmas.
Paddlefish / hunting
Guides dragging east of Shangri-La. Archery + antlerless ongoing — orange if rifle; check antlerless regs.
