Not seeing the numbers of browns up there as usual.... low oxygen ? lack of running water ?

Brian

maybe both, might be a bunch in Bull Shoals now to?......it's been a warmer start to fall than usual to so perhaps that has something to do with it maybe?

Definitely less browns.  We keep losing them to BS.  But hopefully with the new strain of browns, that will change.  That's going to be a while though.

Water temp isn't bad.  Last fall I believe the water temps were warmer.  DO has been good below Lookout -- I don't know about below the dam.  I need to get up there and gage it.

Please explain the new strain of browns. I assume you are talking something different from trips.

MDC is now housing a new brown strain.  I believe they got the eggs early this year so we're looking at next fall for stocking.  It's the same strain that are in the White River.  They aren't as migratory as the strain we have here now.

Did they ever run water down outlet 3?   I haven’t seen it running in a few years.   Why don’t they run it anymore?

I was told that the ladder didn't work like they thought it would, so it was a bit of an embarrassment for them.     

No need to feel embarrassed, it was worth a try, and a cool project.  🤷

When it did run I never saw fish in it past the first pool.   Ladder steps seemed to tall.  But hey I’m not even an armchair biologist 😂

It wouldn't have taken a biologist to know it was going to be a waste of time/energy.   Any halfway decent skeptic could have pointed it out before the second step was placed.  😂
