    Do you have rod holders for your kayak? If so, I would take both rods to cover all situations. When I float the Elk for smallies I take a 7'-6" 3 wt fly rod and a 9' 4wt. I tie a small popper or foam hopper on the 3wt and a streamer on the 4wt. Steve

    Brown woolies have worked well for me. Brown and olive are my two main colors for smallies. Steve

    I saw some pictures of some nice stripers and hybrids from the Zink Dam area this morning. The person that caught them has been doing best in the late evenings and after sundown. Steve

    The people at the campground used to let us pay a small fee and park and fish. They gave us a tag to hang on the mirror. I haven't been there in several years, so maybe they don't do that any more. Steve

    As has been stated, D&B is no more. Other than BPS, the Gadget Company is the only place left in Tulsa for fly fishing products, and they don't sell tying materials. Steve

    Be sure to keep an eye on the water level. They will be generating Monday afternoon and the water comes up pretty fast. Steve

    Most of the stripers are being caught on live shad right now. I've managed to catch a few on flies, but getting more hybrids and whites. This morning I caught a few whites, a couple of sauger, and about 20 drum. Some of the drum were pretty big. As you know, there are also a lot of gar in there right now. I hooked up with one but he spit the hook out before I got it in. Steve

    Cole, It takes 9 hours or so for the water to get low enough to fish at Zink after they shut it off at Keystone. It was down yesterday afternoon, and will be down again this afternoon. I went down around 7:00 pm yesterday and fished till dark without a single strike. I didn't even see the bait guys catch anything. The water is very murky right now and the gar are thick in there.

    I have seen kayakers down there before, so yes, it is doable. Steve

    Chance, T&M Sand and Gravel is between the Watts access and Marval. There is a big sign at the turn-off. If you go downstream from the parking area, there is a deeper section with old car bodies on the far bank. That run usaually holds a few stripers. There is another deeper run downstream of the car bodies hole that also holds some stripers. Steve

    Were the small ones browns or bows? There have been stockings of small browns down there in the past, but the bows are usually 12" or bigger when stocked. Steve

    Chance, There are special regulations on a portion of the Watts property. http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/fishregs/troutarea.htm Stevbe

    Here is the link to the SWPA "projected" generation schedule. It is not always accurate, but they seem to be following it recently. http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/power/hydropower.html Steve

    Zack, We usually do see more low water in the fall and winter. To answer your first question, sometimes. I have had days that produced more hybrids than stripers, and vice versa. You never know. Steve

    I got out yesterday and caught a mess of bluegills for dinner. I am going to let them rest today and go back tomorrow. Steve

    Another good old southern rock band is Grinderswitch. Their cd's can be hard to find. I've seen a few on ebay. Steve

    I went back to Lake Pawhuska today. Caught a mixed bag of crappie, bluegills, redears, a couple of LMB, 1 spotted bass, and 1 rock bass. Brought the crappie, gills, and redears home. Steve

    Chance, I fillet my bluegills, just like I do my crappie. I don't like eating around bones on any fish. I even fillet my catfish. I'm geting ready to head back to Lake Pawhuska and try for some more gills and redears. I did catch 1 rainbow yesterday that liked one of my bluegill flies. Steve

    Chance, I would be very surprised if we see wadeable water on the Arkansas this weekend. I will probably go bream fishing again tomorrow. I brought a few home to for supper tonight. Steve
  22. Okieflyfisher53
    Chance, According to the SWPA liars, they aren't running water tomorrow, either. It is still at 13000 cfs, so it will take a while to get down to wadeable conditions. I think I'll go play with the bluegills and redears today and see if the Arkansas is low enough tomorrow. Steve

    Here is an interesting fly and article by Jack Gartside http://www.jackgartside.com/step_filter_fly.htm By the way, I agree that smokers shouldn't throw their butts in the water or on the ground. I stick mine in a pocket and carry them home to be disposed of properly. Steve

    Zach Bearden was the winner of the fly tying contest at this year's Smallmouth Rendezvous. Way to go, Zach! Steve
