It is just starting at Arrivaca, but it is starting. The water is a bit higher, but float tubers may need to launch from the shore instead of the ramp. The lake picture is near the north shore close to the spillway area. I didn't arrive until 2:30, but didn't catch my first bass until 5. Just like last year, a root-beer colored crystal bugger was THE fly. I was using a six-weight with an intermediate line (I have to confess, I used a plastic vs. a bamboo rod - it feels good to get that off my chest) casting tight to the banks and retrieving. They are hugging the rocks and shade, but if you see one swirl, cast there as quickly as you can. This one was a touch over 20", work them in fast once hooked, they love to jump off.
