fishin mud
i have been asked this several times.. so here is my take.. if the lake is clear to stained after you get a big rain you have really muddy water entering the lake. not all of the lake will be muddy the lakes water will remine clear or stained with the muddy water on top.. after the muddy water gets to the dam and stops the dirt particals will fall by gravity toward the bottom..making the entire lake muddy...
it has been my experiance that this is so... any one want to add to this?? zooker

I think you are perfectly right zook, but you need to use something flashy or bright under the mud because it seriously cuts down on the light transmission of the water.

i always thought to use a contrasting color such as white spinner and then some big flashy blades in mud.

I usually don't focus on flash as much as water disturbance. I love throwing a chatterbait when the water gets muddy. It is also one of the few times (not counting swim baits) that I switch over to a jointed lure.

ummm i think if its a light rain where streams flow in it will be more muddy (obviously) but if its really windy shallow points and banks of mud will make stuff around them muddy

Zooker it all depends on the make up of the body of water, if there are a lot of creeks and they have a lot of flow the water will mix quickly. If there is only one main river and the other water sheds are small, yes it will take time for the whole lake to become muddy.
