Fishing Should Start Picking Up!
What a beautiful day we are having today. And, we expect more of this great weather through Friday. Thursday and Friday will probably see temperatures in the upper 60s. Is this December?! Unfortunately, Saturday looks like some rain might be moving in with a high probability of rain Saturday night into Sunday. The following week looks like temperatures in the lower 50s.
Generation has been non-stop this past week. However, it dropped from four units to the equivalent of two units. Big difference in the cubic feet per second. Still a probable for the wade fishers, but definitely a big better for boats.
Jim on the water last Friday. He took Dale out on an exploratory trip to see what was going on and how fishing was. Fishing not as good as they have had, but definitely better than it has been with the low dissolved oxygen levels. Best patterns were a P&P or thorax midge, and the miracle scud. There are signs that Table Rock Lake is turning which means better oxygen. It doesn’t happen over night, but things are definitely going in the right direction. Stan had JA out for half a day and they caught fish mainly on the P&P.
Saturday, Stan had Mike and his brother Lee, from Arkansas out for half a day. The guys caught fish on the P&P and ruby midges. Jim’s guys, Kevin and Steve were also fishing and catching on the P&P plus a black midge.
