Title: 7 November 2024 “another high water stocking”
Post by: HEN on Nov 07, 2024, 11:50 AM
Fish were stocked yesterday on high water on the Lil' Mo'. Water temperature is 58 all over the river and the clarity is great!! Really clear water for a bunger valve!!  They are running a FULL river of water, should be taking about a 1/2 foot a day off the lake. If it's like in the past, these fish will hunker down, eat everything that comes by them and be fat and strong when they do stop the flow and we get to fish them. When ever that is!!??

Hey Mike! What's the level they're trying to get the lake around?

I'm not sure what it is this go around?  The last proposed draw down was to 538. I'm assuming (but nothing is certain!) that was to get the loading ramp built at the Sawaha swimming area for the barge to load the crane. That's been done. If this draw down is for the actual work on the dam, I have no clue, too many rumors floating around.
