Looking for a little help in finding the gills can't seem to find them here. Any help would be appreciated.

Where's the oxygen and the food this time of year? Seems to be some feeder creeks coming into the lower right hand side with a, seemingly, reasonably sized 10'-15' flat. Not sure of flow rate but a possible higher than the rest of the lake O2 source. The bumps where that flat rolls off into deeper water looks interesting. Spend some time on it during the summer to sort locations out, weeds, rocks........... these type maps are very generalized and often surveyed 50+ yrs ago. Colored pencils are helpful during the summer to mark things though

If there are reed or timber there are probably some there, but I agree, flats are good.  I usually make guess as to where to start.  Fish 5 or so minutes then move a little ways and drill again, and again and again.  You'll find them.  They do move  around a bit.    Drop-offs don't usually work fo me, but it you get up onto the bar or flat abover or below it can be good.  Then too, a little hump or a little dip in a larger flat can be hot.

the bar on the south might be good too, it sticks out between two basins and they might move up onto or over that bar.  Might be worth a try.

Is the water clear enough for a camera?
