D.K. pond highlights.....

I got to the lake at sunrise, beautiful morning..a little chilly! The lake level has pretty much stabilized...not much left to suck out of it! At this current level, there's alot less rockpiles in the water and pretty much everyone knows where they're at! The fish are a little more spread out, but the majority are still keying on the rock areas. There's a couple of different patterns going on, but I mostly stuck to throwing a small crawbait. The crankbait bite is starting to get going with the shad spawn happening this month. I ended up with 20 fish, most a pound and a half to three pounds. I had a couple fish sawed off in the rocks, but I'll never know how big they were....surprised I didn't get any bigger fish! No Vinny on the lake today, so it was very peaceful..except for the big frustrated bull on the hillside! We need to find him a girlfriend.....the bull, not Vinny......!

With the cost of gas now, I can do plenty of talking down here at Murray or the SD River....ha ha
Nice job up there. It is so strange to see the lake so low and so many of the rocks and rock piles way up on dry land. Glad you were able to still navigate throughout the pond and nail lots of bass. Thanks for sharing and I nicknamed that Bull "Scotty." Tight lines always.

I wanted to get out there today, didn't happen. Sounds like you had a great time.
Last week I seen a few of the bulls scrimaging to the right of the launch for around 20mins, they were kicking up alot of sand and bull dozing the sticks. Seen a few of the horses dancing with each other as well. Such an awesome place imo

I'm honored to have him named after me...I do see many similarities! I'll pay your gas money next time you wander up this way....I know you've spent most of your money on crepes at Dennys!

Hurry while there's still some water in the lake! The horses were all grazing in the Santa Isabel arm today, fresh grass...where the lake used to be...sad!

What is lake/pond DK? hahah

What is lake/pond DK? hahah

The D stands for Donald and the K stands for Kiefer. Father and son actors and since they have the same last name, Sutherland, it was just a way to briefly not say the word Sutherland and keep the lake low-key a few years ago when bass were biting like crazy. So some of the locals still say lake D and K.
Long story short, the name of the lake is Sutherland, but the water level is so low it’s more of a large pond ha ha.

What is the water visibility?

Pretty murky unless you are in a couple feet of water and see a rock.
