Fishing from Pixley down to Deadman's. What's the water level like?

The river form both the pixley and crowley dams have been good. Muskies have been located on the edges of weed beds and flats in 6-8 ft of water. Bulldawgs and cowgirls are taking fish. Smallies are going on tubes and spinners below the dams and current breaks. Water levels are down slightly.
Good Luck fishing

bulldawgs- check
spinners- check
tubes- check
Joe I read an article that some of the bigger smallies will relate to weeds on the river and won't hit topwaters. a good technique might be throwing unweighted t-rigged plastics into the weeds and weed edges. does this make sense to you?
It sure does. Anytime you can place a bait on top of a non agressive smallie good things can happen.A bait with little to no weight with the tantilizing action of a tube maybe all it takes to get a strike. I still would work zaras and poppers but I would move them at an extremely slow speed. I have actually witness smallies sit right below or behind a bait for what seemed to be an eternity before I got them to strike.
Good luck

I intentionally never threw to weeds on the river for smallies. will have to give that a try this year. Herbie from 9 Mile says the river is as low as he can ever remember and he's like eighty years old. I guess when we find holes we will find fish..
