Wayne SW/MO Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 There isn't much water. In spite of the cold weather TR doesn't seem to be generating much and that hurts the fishing. For reference, you can walk to the rockpile from the west side. Swan is down to inches deep at the bluff. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 19, 2013 Root Admin Share Posted January 19, 2013 k- Here goes. We waded in just below the rock pile. No generation. We waded all the way across the lake to the Powersite side - it never got to our waste. Looked for fish- all Duane saw were small suckers. Drove down across and up the Powersite side to the path in through the woods just below Silver Creek, parked and walked down to the gravel bar there. Casted a bunch using swimming minnows. It seems to be less than 8 feet deep- more like 6 feet. I lost 3 baits. No bites. Drove down back across and down to Barker. Nothing. I'd like to know how deep it is down there too. Didn't seem like much more than 10 feet. We fished from the corner to the bluff. Saw one boat on the lake between the bridge and Barker. Another gigging boat between Silver and the dam. No one else. I'm sure it'll get good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonreed Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well that's a bummer. I was really hoping that I had missed out and the fish were biting good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They normally generate pretty heavy during the week in the winter, but not this year. Do you know what the bottom of the conservation pool is by chance?

Do you know what the bottom of the conservation pool is by chance? The listed bottom of power pool is 881. At that level everthing above Big M will look like a river and everyhting above Eagle Rock will be canoe country. Alan will ask all boat owners to remove their boats from Holiday Island Marina somewhere near 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem like much more than 10 feet. Phil, you're pretty darn close. We boated up there from Beaver Creek last week and marked only 11-14 feet in the Barker channel. We were looking for walleyes, but it was like the Dead Sea up there. Didn't stay long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 20, 2013 Root Admin Share Posted January 20, 2013 I was told second hand that a party gigging in that area said they've been seeing more 10+ pound walleye from Barker to the dam - more than they've ever seen. Take it for what it is... second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
