On The Fly 6 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I know with hunting in full swing, many of you guys are preoccupied. However, has anyone had the chance to get out on the water lately? There hasn't been a new post since late Oct. Any news?

DaddyO Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I was there last week. Dirty water and slow fishing. DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
On The Fly 6 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Bummer. I may be headed that way tomorrow. Hopefully the fishing will be worth the trip!

dgames Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Was there yesterday at Watts. Water has cleared up. Fishing was good.
Members GoDoe Posted November 20, 2013 Members Posted November 20, 2013 On The Fly 6, Did you go fishing? What is the report? Is the water clear? JC, The rest of us will just have to take the "conditions" reports from you. Your fishing reports are "you are always on fish". The rest of us will have to try to catch up with you intimate knowledge of the area, or stalk you instead of looking for our own fish. Either way keep us posted on when the water cleans up and stays clean. Thanks,
JCWolfe Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 The lake has turned over, dissolved oxygen is up and water has cleared. Tulsa fly fishers had an outing this past saturday, dgames is president of the local Tu chapter and was there. I wasnt,but always check the stream gauges and Tulsa TU facebook page. They caught fish. Lake started changing on the 10th, I was there the 11th and the water was still dirty. Watching D.o. numbers all week you could see them go up daily then the report on the Facebook page water has cleared. Good luck and go fishing. Okiemountaineer
dgames Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Water had definitely cleared. Had been there the previous sunday as well and there was a noticeable difference in clarity. Also, the fish seemed more congregated than usual. Usually you can go just about anywhere at Watts or the dam area and catch fish. Saturday, I started at the bottom end of the rip-rap bank at watts and it was really slow in an area that usually is productive. Moved downstream and stopped in the riffle just below and fish were absolutely stacked in there. Caught fish pretty much non-stop for an hour or so in a pretty small area. Broke for the lunch we were having at our outing. After lunch went further downstream. Again, slow fishing for a while until I found a concentration of fish and then caught a bunch in one spot.
