                                    Weiss Lake Conditions and Weather Forecast - Feb. 14, 2018 We have had a lot of rain over the past week, and most of Weiss Lake and it's creeks, bays, and rivers are muddy or heavily stained.  Some rain is still forecast for the next 5 days, but nothing heavy; just a 20%  to 50% chance each day.  Maybe 1" of rain over the next 5 days total.

The crappie are moving and suspended in the river and creek channels.  Look for the flocks of birds and boats.  When you see a lot of either, the crappie are there; but not for long. The crappie are following the bait fish and searching for warmer water.  Long line trolling, cork and jig, and pushing minnows are all working fairly well..  Find the fish and you can catch them. Little River ,  Little Spring Creek , the Bubble Hole near Cobia Bridge , and Cowan Creek are all holdin...
