Anyone Seen The River Lately?

[JCWolfe]

Just curious if the water looks better. Dissolved oxygen levels are better since the fish kill. Seeing some readings in the 5 range but mostly 4's the last couple of days which is better than the 1's and 2's when fish died.

I've been wondering the same. I need a trout fishing fix, need it real bad!

I'm going to LMF on the 12th and 13th, taking three rivers fly shop entymology class. There will be time to fish so hopefully even though it is a weekend it won't be too crowded. I have good basic knowledge of aquatic insect but was hoping to gain something from people who fish there all the time.

Also does anyone know if they are stocking any fish. It looks like there are regular releases each day even with the lake being very low. Is the water still brown. I have not been there since August and the water was flowing but warm and you could not see more than two inches. Will be really glad when things get back to normal.

That should be pretty cool. The first time I fished the LMF, it started with a half day guide trip with Rob Woodruff, he is the guy that teaches the entomology class. His website says he has an Entomology degree from aTm.

I miss have the Lower Ill available just a little over an hour away where I can go for just a part day. I don't know where my next fishing will b, maybe Roaring River once the C&R season starts.

Good luck on the LMF.

Wildlife department fishing report said the water was still murky, fishing fair. I haven't seen anything about stocking again but do know the dissolved oxygen levels are up, been in the 6 range some. Hopefully with the d.o. levels up they will start stocking again.

I'm with you on the availability of the LIR. I would go maybe 2 or 3 times a month. Now, maybe 1 time a month. 10/14 was my last time out to LMF.
