Bruce Argyle, Aug 15, 1998. Visibility is 6-10 feet, but drops significantly at around 20 feet. Thermocline is at 45 feet, dropping the temperature into the mid-50's. Daytime darkness is encountered at about 40 feet. A crayfish crawls through an eerie landscape of drowned brush and moss.
Crawdads abound in the rocks, on the mud, in the flooded brush, in the moss.
Two Soldier Creek crawdads guard their rocks. You'll see small fish in the shallower water. We attracted schools of 4-inch fish with Cheez Whiz. Whenever we tried it, the fish were there within 15-20 seconds. If you're staying at the reservoir, consider a night dive after the day's fishing.
