Finally getting some water

[Okieflyfisher53]

They have finally started letting some water out at Keystone Dam. It is at 4,960 cfs right now. It has been at around 45 cfs for months. I will try to get down there and try the fishing this weekend.

I tried my luck this morning. The water level was good, about 260 cfs, but it was extremely murky from the runoff. I fished for a couple of hours with no strikes and decided to call it quits. The fishing should be good when the water clears a little.

Okie,

Keep us posted, as I would like to try my luck up that way some this winter.

I tried it for a couple of hours yesterday morning. The water was at 537 cfs and has cleared nicely since the last time I was there. I tried 4 areas that usually hold fish and had no luck. The only fish that I caught were a few buffalo that I foul hooked. I will keep trying and eventually I will find some stripers and hybrids down there.

I've been told that they've been running lots of water for the last week ot two. Any new reports?

[Okieflyfisher53]

Sadly, it seems to be one extreme or the other this year. There has been too much water the last couple of weeks to even think about trying it.

Anything new here? I've heard some rumors.....

[Okieflyfisher53]

hornyhead,

I still haven't been able to fish it. When I sm off work the water has been rolling. It is above 4000 CFS right now. If anyone else has had a chance to fish they must be keeping tight lips about it.

What rumors have you heard horneyhead? I seen some people wade fishing it a few weeks ago. The water was pretty high that day but they were still wading. The water has been extremely high (up to 19000 cfs at times) so I am pretty sure no one has wade fished it for the last few weeks. Maybe the water will come down soon... I am wanting to go badly.
