beavertown to housemans

[bobber]

ok ,with all the fish stocked each year (millions), you'd figure right off the top 40 % get nailed from the first ramp at the dam. to the last ramp at housemans! right? known as THE TAIL WATERS of 7 river miles? or close to it.now the next large spring is blue springs north of houseman's that adds a good boost of cold water, and water is cool- cold almost all the way to beavertown but this section of water is sum what dead water for most of the year? seems to me this should be a good area to land some older fish?or at lease the two or three that got away! do any of you work this part of tablerock? i'm not wanting spots to fish! just want to know i'm not just wasting my efforts thanks

Bobber, a friend and I once went down river of houseman looking for white bass back in the Spring, but sure didn't see many trout moving at all. But don't take my one time observation for any more than what it is. But I've wonder the same thing myself about that stretch of water.

Deep and slow.

LOots of water to work, but it certainly does hold some bigger fish.

At this time of year, the water temps are high on the surface at least, cooler down towards the bottom.

However there are some cold water springs which come up through the riverbed and can help to hold trout. If you waded it when it was right down this past winter/spring you may have seen some

Ive also heard that some of the bigger fish head further down into tablerock and feed below the thermocline.
