Trip Summary
I have been on Keystone the past few weeks, chasing after the Striper and Blue cats. The lake level has risen to 6’-7’ above normal over the past few days and has muddied up one arm of the lake. The striper bite has died off where I was finding them, due to the chocolate milk looking water. They have moved to the clearer part of the lake, on the Arkansas river side. The thermocline has dropped from 22’ down to about 30’ so the fish have more useable area in the water column. Bait (shad) are as thick as ever so no issues finding enough for the day. The blue cats have been feeding on shad on the shallow flats and have been pretty aggressive when they bite.
