Sapps Landing

[Alaskageek]

Coming over from Colorado this weekend, just me  and my girl, none of the seven kids.  So thats going to let me take out the fishing boat.  Was thinking of maybe showing her sapps landing area.  I've only ever fished it in the fall, is it worth checking out this time of year?  With the high water?

Lol, you would have to swim.  That area is completely underwater right now.

I was thinking the same.

Pomme de Terre Lake is still well up and releasing so the river will be up.

Only one around I know of is on truman.  I know Alaskageek knows where it is, he and his dad used to fish it. I believe Truman Lake covers the parking lot at 710 or 712.  The Pomme river releasing 3500 cfs will not cover it if Truman is any semblance of normal, does make for a lot of current there though.

Yes but Truman is up. I think everything is going to be up for couple more weeks.

I was at Pomme this last weekend...mainly more towards the Bolivar side. The lake is certainly still up and if heading towards the river ends expect some floating wood especially early morning when it is calm. We launched from Lightfoot park which was in decent shape but no dock. Same goes for the Bolivar Landing ramp. Fishing was hard for us. We fished morning to noon'ish a little in the late afternoon. Best luck was mid morning for us. 1 white bass, 1 blue gill, a hand full of small'ish bass. The best catch was easily the white bass and the one rather large LM bass I lost on a ned rig when it got stuck under a flood tree then was able to jump

What ya mean no dock at Bolivar and Lightfoot, there is a dock in both places.  But no you can't get to it, it's sort an island right now.    Still around 852, dropping a little over 6 inches a day, so roughly 3 weeks till normal. I honestly haven't heard a lot of good fishing reports from Pomme lately.  But think of how good the hatch will be, and 3 years from now there will be another great class of keeper crappie, just like the year class from 2015 that were all short this year but should make the 9 inch limit next year.
