Thinking about going below Wolf Creek Dam

I'm trying to decide between going below the dam at Wolf Creek to fish for sauger or hit the main lake pulling boards for stripes on Tuesday. With the lake level at 688 and climbing, I'm thinking that they will be letting out too much water to fish the river.

I used to fish the river quite a bit for trout a few years ago and always found this link [URL]http://www.orn.usace.army.mil/hh/products/preschedule.txt[/URL]
to be great. Unfortunatly it doesn't work anymore. I have used the other Corps sites and the best they can do for the pre-schedule is to tell me 2 or more generators will be used.

This site says that they are letting out at over 13,000 cf/sec. Can someone put this into perspective in relation to good to fish/too high/fast to fish?


I'm looking for info on if it's good to fish with 2 or more generators going. Aren't there something like 8 generators there? Any input appriciated before I make the 2 hr drive.

I take the cf/sec and divide by 3 1/3, so you are looking at 4 out of 6 generators. Just a rule of thumb. That's a lot of water which is no surprise considering the lake is above winter pool and the goal is to drop it back down. There is also a phone # listed on one of those websites that will provide more detailed information.

Fishing has been slow, see the following:
