Members JustinK Posted February 14, 2014 Members Posted February 14, 2014 Decided to hit up the dam last night around 11pm. Right when I got there, they shut the water off, was pretty bummed out. I started out on the generator side. You still have to walk quite a ways through the woods to get there due to the water level. I caught a small trout and that was it, no bites or anything for about an hour and a half. Decided to head down to the River Run boat ramp. Fished there for 30 minutes or so, nothing. Figured I would head over to the other side and fish the old dock stairs. Stayed there about 45 minutes with no luck at all. Finally ended the night on the parking lot side of the dam. Walked quite a ways down, spent about an hour and a half with no luck. Used a purple and chart RC stick pretty much all night. Was taking it nice and slow. There was just no action at all last night on my line nor visible in the water. Was a rough night. I called it around 3 am and headed home. Hopefully it will start to pick up here very soon, I'm chompin' at the bits to get a good mess of walleye.
powerdive Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Tough luck, JustinK, but at least you get credit for being out there. It'll get better very soon...thank you for a great report!
Dutch Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry about your luck. What about the roads, ramps, and parking lots. Are they clear of ice and snow?
Wayne SW/MO Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Are you wading up the old road to get to the wall? I think the new hot spot, everyone pay attention, might be where the gully at the end of the parking lot hits the water. That bank gets a good flow when the run water. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Members JustinK Posted February 15, 2014 Author Members Posted February 15, 2014 Dutch all of the roads, ramps, and parking lots are clear of ice and snow. You can access everything. Wayne, I walked through the woods to get to the wall. There is a pretty clear cut path leading to it as it seems many people have also been walking it. Where is this gully at that you speak of? Which parking lot? I'm thinking you are talking about the highway side, but want to make sure.
Moswimb8slinger Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Wayne hush.lol newbies don't know about that gully
Members JustinK Posted February 15, 2014 Author Members Posted February 15, 2014 I'm not a newbie by any means, lol, I've been fishing that area for many years now. Just the way he worded it confused me a bit, so I was trying to clarify it. I have an idea of what he is talking about, just trying to make sure. Sometimes I get confused easily.
