Fished Mountain Fork Today 10-9-11

Fished the Mtn Fork today with my friend Terry. It was pretty tough. Did end up catching about a dozen or so, but nothing of any size. It was really crowded when we first got there about 930 this morning. We ended up starting at the road by the bottom of Spillway creek and worked our way upstream. As expected, the crowd thinned a little as we got further from the parking area and later in the day. Quit fishing about 330 or so, stopped in Broken Bow for an early dinner and headed back to Tulsa. Here are some pics.

This was my best spot of the day. Got 6 or 7 out of this hole.

Sucks when you drive down there and it's crowded, I try and go during the week if possible. Got a 3 lb. Rainbow out of the same hole you got your 6. Ever checked out beaversbendflyshop.com? There is a discussion board there I look at for fishing reports. Glad you got out, it's been almost a month for me.

When we got down there, I realized that the other times I had been down there it was either like 106 degrees out or a weekday, so I had never seen what it looked like crowded. We were going to start at the evening hole, but didn't even try when we saw the crowd from the bridge at its bottom end.

Its been a while since I looked at the Beavers Bend forum and I never tried to register to post over there.

Good job on the 3lb bow. Biggest fish I have caught down there was probably 17in and was from further upstream on Spillway.

The day I caught that 3 lb. fish I also caught a 4 lb fish below the lower bridge that is now washed out. 4 other fish were 2 lb trout as well. That was in the days before I fly fished and was using powerbait. There were a lot of fish in spillway that particular trip a few years back. I've got to where I take the spinning gear with crankbaits if I'm not doing good on the fly rod I break it out. I've not learned enough to be really good on the LMF consistently. Work might be slow later this week so I'm debating going down to LMF.

Great pictures. Being from SE Oklahoma, this was the place to get your trout fix and it offers better scenery than the LIR. Id like to get over there and fish again sometime soon!
