trythisonemv Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 So I have heard and read that a guy could wade the pothole in the spring and now that I know where it is I'm wondering when should be good?
vonreed Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I reckon you could wade the pothole anytime of the year you wanted to. Just use caution when the water is high and rolling out of the dam at a high speed.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I used to wade it but it was years ago. No different than wading below any dam. Just make sure you have an escape route if the water comes up. We used to catch some nice trout down there in the winter. Pete
trythisonemv Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks. I wad hoping to get some whites or walleye in March just concerned with the depth. I'll try it out
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 The Pothole is very unreliable for wading. If the water is down around 554' or less you can generaly wade between Silver Creek and the dam. There are shoals farther north that can be waded. The problem is that the new water level isn't conducive to wading and in the Spring the elvel can anywhere. You just have to go and wade what you can, sometimes a lot of areas, and somwtimes almost none. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
