  1. Well to be frank ... they shut the water off Thursday night and it got really low. Thy nvr ran any water all day. Left around 2pm. Managed about 10 rainbows the whole day. The guys I took caught nothing. Saw only three browns. No water made it tough. Plus there were a million people by like 8 am. Outlet two and below three were the best. Scuds were only thing I could get to work. Had to put it in the moss and twitch a little after it settled. This made for a lot cleaning off moss though. Really would've liked half a unit running. Better luck next time 😂
  2. I'll be down for the annual pilgrimage below the dam. Hopefully some browns are moving . Had a great year for rainbows one time but something bout the browns I just thoroughly enjoy
  3. See any browns moving ?
  4. When it's wet it looks real.
  5. Started tying these little dudes. Fly fish foods baby fat minnow. Super simple very fishy
  6. Stupid to take down all three hatcheries at the Sametime... oops we don't have no fishes for da peoples again... wuhtwhoa. Silly nonsense to do that
  7. Mostly stocker size in zone 2 zone one the fish were better quality but more weary
  8. The spring is just loaded with fish. Got there at buzzer Wednesday and went straight to work on stocker bashing in zone 2. Managed 15 to 20 before migrating to zone 1. Zone 1 was less populated between rock dam and big dam. I managed another 10 to twelve up there. Most fun was sight fishing to fish staged up behind grass beds. Drifted a scud over the back edge and fish on. Caught a few below the Rock dam as well stripping streamers and deep dredging scud. Had a fish blow up on a froggy fly as well. (I got bored 😂 ') beautiful day and the most fish I've seen in the park in years.
  9. Kinda early still with the really cold temps and lack of water I'd say it'll be later I n March for whites and maybe after the rains for walleye you may see some in the river.
  10. Why would they dump them any way? Unless they were inter mixed it seems kind of like a bad idea.
  11. Sad ... ty and Jim were the best. That's where I learned to tie flies
  12. They didn't have enough money to float it during covid they really struggled. Nice guy from joplin. He just couldn't keep it stocked and couldn't compete with amazon
  13. Yep got your note. Should've went up there first but instead I wandered all the wY down to shoal creek looking for a fish who hadn't seen a person. Found some but didn't connect. The creek has changed so much I hardly recognize it down there. I wonder of they have even stocked that creek this fall?
  14. I mo wd three decent browns but didn't stick any solid and moved four rainbows way down toward shoal creek. The guy fishing by the bridge caught five with worms and marshmallow including a big rainbow . Slow day. Went up by dam and caught a goggle eye for my trouble. Saw rainbows doing the spawning dance by the bridge up there. They were not interested Ina fly
  15. One of my best days down there was 22 degrees and snowing. I caught so many fish I couldn't keep count. Thy mustve just dumped them in. It was in November I believe
  16. I think you are probably right. It has been really weak last couple years. Bucket brigade wipes them out ND the resident fish are pretty smart. I always move a big brown in a couple spots though. And there are a few spots where some big rainbows always hide. Hope it's not 19 degrees and bad fishing lol
  17. I'll probably be there sir. Can't miss out on the the shot at stream cred lol
  18. That's what the map showed. Thanks Ollie. You doing your Ollie extravaganza this year?
  19. Anyone know anything about the stream stretch above jolly mill ? Also cn you fish in the big pool above the dam? Always wondered but never looked into it
  20. I'll be checking the creek Sunday after Thanksgiving. Hope there are a few fish around. Last few years been few and far between.
  21. Yeah the fast spot across from outlet three was unproductive for me this go round except one rainbow. Then moved to outlet to find fish and sandy . Once water came on there was a good bite. I'd prefer there be only me 😂
  22. First week of October is the week I generally get down when the browns really take off
  23. Yep combat fishing. . . Especially in the outlets . Tons of fish both rainbows and browns up there. It was the busiest I've seen the dam area on a Wednesday this time of year. Can't imagine what next week will be like.
  24. These kids don't have hobbies so if I can introduce to them an outdoor activity that is what I will do. The kid in this picture is trying to get in shape and plays Frisby golf and soccer and has lost 150 pounds. He is a good kid.
