Pretty Decent Fishery?

[Nathanael]

i was gonna apply to csu also until i saw what their out of state tuition cost... if i move there this summer ill become a resident then apply. ya i looked at northeastern but osu will pay for your masters. and they just have more money for their program with being a bigger school. that would be cool man. where are you from. with living in okc its a little bit of a drive so we'll have to plan it sometime

[Zach Bearden]

Yeah, their out of state is absurd. It takes 12 months for your citizenship to count up there (to obtain in state tuition).

I'm from Gore actually. So pretty much anytime is good for me.

Bad part is, I'm still a senior so I can't go during the week lol

[Nathanael]

ya i cant either i have class every day to make up for all the duck huntin i did last semester and goofed off in school, oops haha. well here in a few weeks ill send you a message and we'll meet up. ill look forward to it man. let me know how the fishin is out there in the mean time.

[Zach Bearden]

Will do.

I guess this is a good spot to ask this, so instead of starting a new thread I'll ask.

As a general rule of thumb, is it safe to assume generations only occur through the week and seldom on the weekend? Seems like last year around this time, it was this way. However there were several folks fishing on Saturday and Sunday, which is understandable.

I ventured over during the week a couple of times and found high water. Seems like they would start early in the morning, around 8. Stop around mid afternoon. I have the site bookmarked, just wanted to ask is this still pretty much the thinking on when they are generating? Most every day through the week and seldom on weekends?

Thanks!

EDIT****

I found the predicted generation schedule.

zach, right now im actually just regular biology at southern nazarene university (free schooling for me to get my basics) here in oklahoma city. After this semester though it kinda depends on what my summer ends up doing. im trying to get on as a guide at a few different ranches in colorado. if that all works out ill be attending colorado state. if that doesnt work though im gonna stay here and go to oklahoma state, i have looked into many different schools for this including arkansas tech, southeastern and a few others. out of these i would say osu has the best program.

on the fly, right now my goal is to be a biologist and focus on cold water streams and rivers for trout but if that doesnt work im completely open to the idea of being a warden.

Hey Nathanael, have you looked into SNU's QERC biology semester in Costa Rica? I'm one of the instructors with that program. The location is fantastic. There is an amazing trout stream there, one of the few in the whole region. You cast beneath huge cloud forest trees with a mist about you. It's pretty awesome. You might want to talk to Wes Hanson about it. I'll be there mid April this spring for a course.

Best, MR

Bunky, there really is no way to guess very far in advance. Sometimes they'll go weeks with little to no generation, and othertimes they'll generate more than seems rational. The best way to go is to look at the daily generation schedule before you go, and I also always check the depth gage to make sure that matches up to what the schedule says it will be.

Best of luck

ya i actually have a good friend (Austin Griffin) who was down there this spring, he is also a biology student at snu. I just want to be able to go to a university where i can have the entire fisheries biology degree not just one semester somewhere. It sounds like a neat program i just dont think its exactly what im looking for. He actually fished that stream alot and i have seen a bunch of pictures of it. it looks pretty cool

Shoot me a message when u think will be heading down to the LIR. I will show u around the river if Zach can't help you out. Not a whole lot to this river, pretty easy fishing. It's not Taney, Norfork, or the White...but it's great for a daytrip to fish, especially when I'm only an hour and a half away. Look me up on Facebook as well, Chance Maxville, got lots of pictures from the LIR. Check my blog out too.
