I wonder if a couple of divers is enought to pull those VW size cats out of there. Thats a heck of a deep dive. I wonder how much time they have at that depth to get the job done. It couldnt be to much. I think the deepest i ever went was around 70ft. Just not much to see in our lakes that deep.
I doubt anyone got a ticket backing a trailer in, lots of guys are doing it. I used to take my tracker with a 60hp on it down there. I took the prop off and only used the troller. People on the water were jerks about it but i never got any ticket. Security watched me luanch and said it was fine if i just used my troller. Had some old guys tell me the Corp of Engineers would fine me if i got caught. They obviously have no clue what they were talking about since its not a corps lake
I decided to bail on tomorrows Tourney. Fishing is suppose to be fun. Tomorrow doesnt look like fun. There are like 9 tourneys suppose to happen tomorrow on Table Rock. Couple 100 bucks isnt worth being miserable all day. And thats if i won. I could donate and be miserable which would be even worse.
We launched a 12ft flat bottom and didnt have to get wet down there. I just cant fish sitting down in a kayak. I got rid of my Springfield lake boat when the ramp washed out, now i just take the big boat to Bull or Table Rock. I miss those big fish in that lake though.
Even if they do get a ramp it is so overtaken with Kayaks makes it hard to fish if the temp is above 60. Lots of guys are launching some light flat bottoms at the boathouse. There is a little slide there that you can get the job done if you want to put some muscle into it. Its very shallow though
I guess the new V-8 fourstrokes arent living up to the hype if they decided to bring back the 2 stroke

Best bet is to use the line you like and can afford, by some suspend dots and just play with it. A kitchen sink of water isnt gonna tell you crap, once you have line on it and the temp of the water will dictate how it float, sinks, suspends, or whatever you want it to do
Thanks Travis.... Phil, I called when I got to the dam and it said it was 707. Is that phone number that tells the level exact or does it take time to update?
I headed up there at about 11:30 after i stopped and grabbed some jigs. They were slowing the generation down at that point. I made it no problem. Caught a few here in there. I did end up with a real nice rainbow. 22" on a white 1/8 jig. Took a few pics and let her swim off. Not sure if ive ever caught a rainbow over 20.
ITs been a couple years since i ran much past fall creek. Planning on going tomorrow. Any hazards i need to watch for? Whats a safe generation to make it up there without tearing things up?
YOu can go a couple miles up from Taney in a prop boat. Ive caught plenty of bass up there. Lots of suckers run up ther in the spring and ive seen a lot of crappie hanging around brush when ive been up there. Didnt have any crappie gear with me at the time but there were a bunch.
It doesnt take much to make it flow pretty good but usually clears up real fast. Im sure you could catch trout up there pretty easy in the colder months too
If your in Springfield area go to Fin & Feather and check out the Denali Kovert rods. They are hard to beat for $99. And if you ever have an issue they will take care of it.
