Below Powersite today

[taxidermist]

Put in a day of fishing below Powersite, lots of water, the rock pile was about three feet showing.

It took almost all afternoon to figure the fish out. Did catch a lot of 12-14 inch walleye, two to four tugs and it was like reeling a stick in.

Rainbows were small 9 inch max.

Someone had a mishap, there is a bow of a fiberglass boat sticking out of the water about 1/2 from Shadow Rock to the Rock pile.

I thin the walleye are just waiting for water levels to drop and remain stable a few days. I was really suprised I was able to find them and catch a several. I call this survival fishing, I could have had a full stomach at best.

I did go down below the Barker hole, did not find many fish or even schools of fish with the fish finder.

The best thing about the whole day other than fish is I found a full sized Orange foam dock billet. I use the stuff for fish and bird bodies.

Care to share how you caught your fish?

The boat sticking up out of the water is alittle un nerving... I wonder if the accident had been reported? If it was, the boat would have been removed, at least by MWP.

Thanks!

I used about everything in the tackle box. I did catch a lot of small walleye nothing more than about 1 lb, and small trout 9 inch stockers.

Used some green and yellow grubs, everything caught small fish. The small walleye would lead me to believe that the females are still down lake.

I did go down below the Barker Hole, on the fish finder I found a lot os schools of fish at about 4 feet deep in mid stream, over the river bed.

I think these may have been white bass or shad nothing large.
