Paddlefish snagging has been slow-fair in some parts of the lake/Neosho River due to the high water levels. Elk River- East, toward the OK MO state line has had a lot of runoff fill into Grand Lake. Debris has come down the Neosho and Spring River(s) out of KS which has made the navigation of the waters tricky. Most of the fish bite has been slow due to the conditions.
