Members SDB777 Posted May 9, 2015 Members Posted May 9, 2015 Glad I have made plans to spend the weekend at any place on the river so far this year. As a wade-only fly-fisher, I can't get near the water! Almost wish I'd kept the money for my trout stamp.... Guess we waders will have to hope for better water next year? Why run generator(s) all but 4 hours during the evening? Scott (maybe I can go to the Gulf) B No high priced fly gear here! If you're ever looking for a custom duck call.....give me a shout!

Plastic_worm Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Sucks...maybe by June?! And I read a report today about the fishing in the lake suffering b/c they don't have any high water for spawning.

Members SDB777 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Members Posted May 10, 2015 Nice article.....in the meantime, the SWPA is blasting 20hrs a day at 48! Maybe we could get daylight from 10pm to 2am to wade in? Scott (not much thinking happening) B No high priced fly gear here! If you're ever looking for a custom duck call.....give me a shout!
Members TheRustyHook Posted May 13, 2015 Members Posted May 13, 2015 Keep an eye on the generation schedules. This is the time of year when the weekends tend to kick up generation. I just got back from an awesome day of wading they opened up on unit about 12:00 p.m. I was able to fish up to cow schoals till around 2:30 p.m. with a hot san jun worm bite. The rain is what really kills me! tough to fish on muddy water! "Whoa there Big Girl" Rusty Hook & Co.
Members Phil Landry Posted May 13, 2015 Members Posted May 13, 2015 On a positive note... longer periods of high water make fatter and stronger fish. Plus, there is far less fishing pressure and direct impact on the population. Good things come to those who wait. Plastic_worm 1 Phil Landry www.theozarkflyguides.com pblandry@hotmail.com
Plastic_worm Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I agree, been eagle eyeing the schedule...all about timing!! YT - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5T_lKUH3gVkxSraJWUVzoQ FB - https://www.facebook.com/looknfishy Blog - http://looknfishy.blogspot.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/looknfishy/
Members SDB777 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Members Posted May 23, 2015 I agree, been eagle eyeing the schedule...all about timing!! Finally was able to get the 'timing right'! On a positive note... longer periods of high water make fatter and stronger fish. Plus, there is far less fishing pressure and direct impact on the population. Good things come to those who wait. Longer periods of high water make "ME" fatter, but certainly not stronger..... Were able to get out this morning on Cow Shoals, wife hooked up almost immediately...took me a bit longer. Everything was really small...nothing over 13" was caught/released? So I'm not sure where the bigger, fatter, stronger were...but they were not at the location we waded. Caught/released 19 fish between the both of us over the period of 4.5hrs.....certainly not a 'good day'. Scott (Norfolk will get me next time) B No high priced fly gear here!
