Daveinozark Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 anyone been over to the Linden lake recently? Is the lake part still able to be accessed with the bridge construction going on or is it just a river only access for now? I haven't been over there since bridge work started
dennis boatman Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I guess not...? A strike indicator is just a bobber...
OzarksRiverman Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I haven't been there. But from the info we got from the Newspaper, I'd say foot traffic under the bridge is closed. Which means you couldn't get up to the dam & lake from the dirt road access unless you went up and over the bridge...

Trying to save myself a trip, but may have to check it out this weekend
RSBreth Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I was going to go over there after work this week, but they have us breaking more rocks into gravel than usual, so I didn't have time.
Daveinozark Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 went over there this morning. They have the bridge blocked off still and no access to get under the bridge to the lake, going south on the 125. So I did a bit of wading in the area. The water was so crystal clear I was able to sight fish and what them grab the lure which is always cool. Just a few small smallies and sunfish. They went after a white booyah micro spinner and a small swimbait. Struck out on small cranks and plastics. The water is extremely low, there would be a lot of dragging if someone wanted to attempt a float. We need more rain! It was a cool weather morning and I was the only one there though, which made for a relaxing time hopefully they get the bridge done as planned early next month. I miss hitting Linden lake
Daveinozark Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 I got word from MODOT that the bridge will be done middle of next week. I'll have to hit linden lake next weekend
Daveinozark Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 I got word from MODOT that the bridge will be done middle of next week. I'll have to hit linden lake next weekend they are taking longer than projected. Now it's listed as Sep 30th for completion. I'm not sure of the parking situation on the south end of the bridge, but I may check this weekend if I can park and access the lake from there

I'm not sure of the parking situation on the south end of the bridge, but I may check this weekend if I can park and access the lake from there Be careful on the southside of the bridge. I wanna say county was out there busting people for parking over there. I can probably tell you a for sure answer by this evening. MoDOT came in the fire station (Sparta) the other day and said they were expecting it to be open the first week of October. I hope they open it soon. Any odds of getting a few guys together and going up there maybe this coming week to do some fishing?
