QUOTE "Bottom line is, you are responsible for your own safety. You can not blame it on a SW Power employee, faulty equipment, or the guy across the stream failing to let you know the water was coming up. The horn is a courtesy, we all know what will happen when they turn the water on. I always used a marker stone and kept a watch on it." Good point JD! I always look for some rock or marker and keep an eye on it. Even then not a good idea to wade out too far at the BS dam tailwater on the White ...it comes up really fast sometimes

I almost went under at the same spot one late morning. I heard the horn but chose a spot ot walk out with a deep hole between the shore and my location. I was up to my armpits before i got to shore with a little help from a taller guy that helped me. If you are wading parallel with the shore that is easy to do. When the fishing is good it is easy to get distracted.

Yes indeed, That was supper tonight. The fry-daddy got a workout. Gooood eating.

Landed at bwl lake 34 at dusk lst night.

No length limit but 15 daily limit.

Gator .... I will be down thurs - Sunday maybe we can hook up sometime to swap stories or fish. Will send PM with cell phone.

Caught at Warsaw below Truman March 31 by Zach my grandson. Zach is over 6 foot so estimate the spooner. He and friends had a great day of snagging.

Sorry DaddyO but if I am not mistaken .... residents only.

Great report. Thanks for sharing.

Don't forget you still have to buy a trout permit even though the regular license is free and hunting special permits (deer and turkiey) I think? .

Here most every day.

Thanks Bred. What lakes would you recommend?

if they are not running too much water you can walk the trail behind the cabins down to the shoals and wade fish there. I also like to drive down to the white hole access and the entire bank on on either side of the launching area is always great. You can also cross over the other side and fish wildcat shoals farther down if the water is not too swift.

If you are talking about kolondike by Katy trail the big lake there is full of fish catch and release. I caught a nice 4# largemouth there off the bridge and you can catch bluegil off the bridge forever. The trick is to get the bait down fast enough to get by the 3 inchers at the top and down where the large gills are hiding under logs and under the bridge in the shade. Lots of fun though for younguns that just want to catch something. Use very small hooks with long shank like a cricket hook and cover it with a short piece of crawler. small jigs also will catch bass and gills. Micros in green, white, yellow/blk etc 1/250 to 1/80.

Thanks. Nice fish and report Leonard. Thanks for snapping the pic Duane.
