Fall is falling

Here on Bull Shoals Lake Fall is almost over


....we've been through the vivid colors and short Indian summer...now the trees are half bare and winter's peaking through. This year has been very rainy so the lake is again 17 ft. above normal. The lake usually raises in the spring and falls below normal pool come fall. This whole year started out bad with the worst ice storm (3-4 inches thick) in history. The fallen debris in our area was mostly cleaned up by mid October with the help of our county and FEMA. They did a terrific job. And we do have lots of firewood for winter.

With the cooler weather the fish are moving up. Crappie and Whites are biting...wish we both had more time to fish.
Now's the time for cleanups, repairs and thinking of future plans. The economy is looking better....hopefully the fishermen will come out soon since last years high water gave us a a terrific spawn; and families will come for great lake fun. Our September divers said they haven't seen this many fish in our lake for many years...they can't wait for their June trip.

Had a good community party last Saturday for Holloween, nice hayrack ride, good food, big bonfire and lots of friendship. This is such a great neighborhood to live in.


Keep smiling til next time!!
