15 September 2024 “ditto my 2 September report”

[HEN]

You can read my report on 2 September and it will be the same for today!!  Nothing changed here in the past two weeks. It's a month from today when trout season starts on the Little Mo'. I have no idea what this year might bring?  I assume they are still planning on working on the dam the end of this month but they have not started pulling the lake down other than the continuous 17% bunger valve release. Water and river bottom is still very dirty and has a really foul odor, I assume from the lake turning over. I'm still catching a fish here and there but they have really been depleted since the last May stocking. If I find out anything new I'll post it ASAP, if not I'll post again in a couple of weeks.

‼️ Alert yesterday, 9/17, as I was fishing they closed the bunger valve!  I had caught a couple of fish but as the water dropped I never got another bite. That seems to happen often??  I was advised they were working on the electrical stuff at the switch yard and we're getting wet from the spray off the bunger. As of 5:00 am this morning, 9/18, it is still closed thus no flow on the Lil' Mo'. Guess they will be working on it again today.

Thanks for the reports, Mike.  Judy and I hope to get to Lil'Mo later this fall if the CoE doesn't ruin everything.  She is needing her "fly rod fix" as she had her shoulder rebuilt about 4 weeks ago and will be more than ready to try it out by late October.
