Wolf Creek Dam Fishing

[skinny]

stimy2001, heres the # to wolf creek dam: (270)343-0153. call it before you go and it will tell you the generation schedule for that day. as they get the main lake back down closer to 680,they should cut back on some of the outflow making it more fishable.

Fishing is really slow...you have to fish some pretty heavy stuff right now to get down to the structure where the fish are holding (trout). They won't slow down the flow until the lake is almost at 680.00. I would imagine if we don't get much moisture in the next week they'll have slowed down by the start of next week. But I did see on the weather there is some precip coming our way...

If they are pushing 22,000 or 21,000 I don't know if there'll be a ramp at Helms because the water might be in the parking lot?? I've been once before when the top of the ramp was out of the water, but you could see where water had been in the parking area and they were running all generators wide open.

If you go...Good luck and tell us how you did.

I stand corrected! They've dropped it to 7,000 so by all means go fishing!! You should slay the trout and if you fish the dam you'll probably get those saugers and eyes too! Temps for today and tomorrow 51/33 will be fine for fishing...good luck!

I am planning on going saturday, but from the looks of it the water is 5' above the 680 wondering if I will be able to fish or is the water up too much. If I make the trip and the water is too high thought I might go to the lake and see wwhats going on. Does anyone know what they are catching on the main lake and where and on what????
