Members Ozark Nomad Posted March 10, 2019 Members Posted March 10, 2019 Wondering if anyone has a report on the current stream conditions at Bennett after the rain we got last night and today? I see water levels and stream flow are up according to the USGS website but I haven’t fished it enough to know what that translates to in fishing conditions. Thinking about heading there tomorrow but don’t want to make the hour drive if it is blown out. Thanks.

laker67 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I see a guy standing on top of the dam at 8:25. Appears to be about the same height as opening day.
fshndoug Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I JUST LOOKED AT THE FLOW FROM THE USGA WEBSITE AND IT IS AT 415 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND .ON OPENING DAY IT WAS AROUND 230 CFS.THE WATER WILL DEFINITELY GET MORE COLOR TO IT.THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY PUSH THE FISH TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OR THE SIDES.THIS IS ALOT MORE FLOW THAN I LIKE. laker67 1

laker67 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Water was up level with the spillway lip but a good color. Park was crowded for a Sunday afternoon. Only fished about 4 hours. I was trying out a new hook today to see how it would hold up. It hooked up good, held good, and the point stayed sharp for the first 20 or so fish, maybe 30. I am thinking that maybe tomorrow I will add some fly tying material to it. nomolites, Foghorn, BilletHead and 2 others 1 4

Like snagged said.
