What's happening below wolf creek dam?

[kydog]

Was wondering if any walley's were being caught below the dam at C-land. I'm needing to relieve a little cabin fever.

Just came back from there. Fished from the bank and caught a few skip jacks but nothing else. several boats out ther. the guys that pulled out while I was there said that they caught several small saugers, but nothing to brag about. they were running three gens. but turned on more as I was leaving.

Sounds to me like it's hit or miss everyday!! But That's fishing lol

Been on my mind also. Noticed they cut the flow down to around 4,000 few days ago yet opened it back up. Not fond of the 20,000 but give me 15,000 or less and I'm a going!

fished below the dam tuesday in the rain :
0 sauger
0 walleye
0 stripers
we kept 19 rainbows, caught several more rainbows and browns.
nothing over 15 inches, they mustve stocked a bunch
water started dropping and everything shut off in a hurry, no bites at all after the water dropped.

green/white and pink/purple punisher hair jig tipped with minnow.

The lower flow can be very good. Never have I thought fishin falling waters were good. Give it a day or so to settle down and the CR can be a very productive river. Although I'll cover 10 to 15 miles of river while I'm down there. The rising waters of days gone by were the best times to fish. Yet It'll be awhile before the CR returns to normal. Find the current in the lower flows and you'll find the fish. I might add that I target the trout when I'm on the CR. Walleyes are just an added bonus. Find the deeper holes during the lower flows. That's what I've learned from fishin down there since the 80's. You'll never fish the same river twice. Rivers are forever changing. You just have to adapt. Low flow can be very good fishing. And it will vary with your style of fishin. I beat the banks try not to stay in one place to long. 100% water only 10% has fish. At least that's what my dad always and he grew up on the CR before it was a lake. He also said that dam will never work and look at the extensive repairs that are being done to it. This isn't the first time it's under gone repairs. Just my opinion. Good luck.
