Wading

[jdavis]

I'm glad to see that we might get some opportunity to wade during the fall run.

For those of us who have not been in the water for a while, are there any hazards to be aware of if our first look at the stream changes are at night?

Yes, I would encourage you to look around during the day if you can. The noth bank from the cable down to well below the #3 (ladder) area has changed! Outlet 4 is flowing water now, and has some new cuts around it. The rebar hole has changed and filled in some areas and dug out the rest...rebar fishes totally different now. There is a huge tree just below rebar, lots of fish will be lost there.From the tree to big hole hasn't changed much. The big hole seems to have filled in with gravel some. When I was drifting over it by boat my depth finder was showing big hole shallower.

There is something wierd going on with Table Rock. I don't know if Table Rock has turned over or what, maybe some others here will know. The Temp of the water up by the cable last week was 59 degrees with 4 units running. The water is stained/cloudy.

Hope this helps,good luck, Bman

Where is Outlet #4? Glad it's not a snake, it may have bit me!

That sounds like some warm temps, but with such a high volume of warm rain and the lake not being able to cool off starting this spring makes it hard to let the water clear up and get cold.

Down stream of the fish ladder there is an area by a big starcase that has a couple discharge pipes flowing, thats what I reffered to as outlet 4. Lots of structure change in there. I believe those run out of a pond area, so discharge could, be warmer...
