Ryan Miloshewski Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 If you don't think the fish can get all the way up, you're underestimating nature. A lot of fish are milked from 3. They get up 2 easily as well. Bet if you go down there right now there are staging fish in the pool before (after?) the steep falls, and quite a bit of them. “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 7, 2021 Root Admin Share Posted October 7, 2021 No, the ladder has worked each year. I have an email in to see what the numbers are like presently. They have been running 7,000 cfs - that's plenty of rise to get fish to the base. Yesterday they can almost 10,000. fishinwrench, nomolites and Ryan Miloshewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it with that much water in it. Barely a trickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Had a friend catch an absolutely beautiful hook jaw 24 inch brown out of Bull Shoals last week. It was fat and healthy I think he said it weighed over 7 pounds. Johnsfolly and MSUFisherBear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
