So booked a cabin last minute on Bowstring taking a couple buddies up. Have not been on the lake this early in the year. Anyone have experience on it early, are the fish gonna still be shallow? Any help would be appreciated.

how’d your trip go??? i didnt see this post till i got back as i was about 10 miles north of bowstring. not that i could help much……. 
that lake is tough on me!!!! 
my guess is you caught a fair amount of snot rockets though. what resort did you stay at???
If your talking about the public access on the north east corner of the lake. I was told by several people at the resort my boat and the bunk trailer would not work well at that one due to the lake being down. I did launch and load there last year but bottomed out coming off.
That landing is always shallow no matter how high the water is. 
has anyone looked at landing a boat over on the access by geiger’s?? Only went out on that one during ice season..
I was told to just go to the south one way down the gravel road, good access the area it’s in is super shallow though also.

Yep that’s the only one my 20′ boat would come off my bunk trailer. It’s shallow getting into the main lake so be a little cautious going out as well.

never been to that access…….but do fish that end of the lake.
South access is much better but the miles of dirt road in there is not kind to the boat paint!

For sure, my rig still needs a good cleaning!
Fished Bowstring several days during the week after opener. I never go to the NE access. The northwest is doable with a roller trailer but I only used that once. Launched out of the south access 3 days. This is the only one to use if you have bunks.

some of us don’t have big fancy boats though

that would be the access by geiger’s correct???
Yes, Glenn57. I had to push of and fully crank on my 1875 ProGuide. One of us had to get in the water.

Yea that lake can be tough on loading and unloading boats.
