I am needing some pointers about how to fish cold falling water on the upper end of a river system lake. I have a tourney this weekend on the Osage river of the lake of the Ozarks. They have dropped the lake a foot and a half in four days to make room for all the ice melt run off. I am guessing the inside bends of the river and the first couple of docks off of the points because of the current. The current really shuts down the crappies. I am guessing that it will do the same to the bass, being that the water is so cold (39-41degrees). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Peace out! Drew

It is a lake created by damming up a river, so the upper end has a lot of current when they make electricity or pull the lake down. As you get farther down the lake goes off into big creek arms and coves so it is easier to get out of the current or harder to get into it. In the summer the big bite is always up the river especially when they are generating electricity. Thanks for the input.
