Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 23, 2007 Root Admin Posted January 23, 2007 Bill Babler, Bill Beck and myself drove to the River Run Ramp below Powersite Dam this morning- got there about 6:45 am just as the sun was rising. It was cold! Put the boat in and headed up to the dam. Level is 659, about 5 feet over power pool. The rock pile was just under the water. Water was coming over the spillway some but not hard. It increased as time went on though till it was roaring over when we left (about 9 a.m.). Water was running thru the turbines too. We threw suspending rouges, swimming minnows and white jigs at them. Caught 4 rainbows (3 dinks and the one Bill has) and one carp (Bill again holding). The carp hit an 1/8th oz jig. I thought I had something good... and did... but it wasn't the right fish. Wanted a walleye. Headed down to Barker- no luck. High skies to blame. Should have gone yesterday. Speaking of signs (Roaring River), this sign is alittle hard to read. This will move the forum to the right a bit but it's a panaramic pic of the Forsyth side of the lake. Notice all the trees and brush has been removed.
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I have yet to figure out why they removed the trees. they took out one that was a popular shade spot on the bank. In lieu of a good reason, the idiot that ordered it should explain himself publicly. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Members Growler Posted January 24, 2007 Members Posted January 24, 2007 #3-Dang! He just slimed my coffee. Cast for an hour at Barker Hole this afternoon. No bites, actually just getting some fresh air (I say since I didn't catch anything). New Rogue...$4.98 First Cast...Exhilarating Losing new Rogue on first cast...Stupid! My day was jinxed from the first cast. Anyway, water is way up. Really need a boat to fish proper. I'll have to bribe my nephew since I don't have one. G
