Low Water Alert

[Cody Smith]

Just thought I would give everyone the heads up.....

For thos that don't know this already, The corp should not be generating until the White gets too 21 feet at Georgetown. From Dec - Middle of April it's mandated for flood control. Might get several days worth of low water after all this rain.

Well they have slowed down the release of water but they have not shut both generators down yet. They are still releasing water every day and the river fluctuates accordingly. Sometimes it is both generators + flood gates and sometimes just the flood gates. I have not seen it low enough to safely wade yet. For those who dont know you can call (502) 462-5150 and get the skinny on whether they are generating or not, when they last generated, and when generation began and how many units are running. You will also get the lake level of Greers Ferry lake.

JUST FYI: With the 12 hour on 12 hour off Generation schedule there are "wading oppurtunities" too be had at Winkley Shoal @ Daylight until 10 am. Then you can drive to Libby shoals and fish for another 3 hours or so before the water catches up.

Go and Catch'em~

Hey TT, the LR looked fishable today when I crossed it at Pangburn. I was thinking of breaking out the spinning rod (I'm not very good at fly-fishing high water and running the boat at the same time) and throwing jigs up around Lobo this weekend. Do you think it would be worth it?

DEFINATELY WORTH IT!!! I was out Sunday (LOBO)and I put a hurtin on`em. Well maybe not a hurtin but a good day even with the cloudy water. Boated 30+ in 3 hours. I fished fly rod (San Juan Worm #14) hot fly for a while until it got windy, then I Picked up the Unltra Light and layed the hammer down. I fished the rise (which is one of my favorite times to fish..) I boated 1 really nice brown of 21"'s and several Rainbows in the Slot. It should be some really good fishing with the water clearing like it is. It's not going too be but another couple weeks and I suspect the Corp. will be back to HEAVY generation so get it in while you can.

Keep that Fly rod with you though, YOu should be able to catch low water at Lobo until at least 11:00 - 1:00 depending on when the Corp. started generating that morning or the night before. I don't care what anyone says, The water will reach Lobo with 1 unit on in 7 hours.
