Ripn,

How are you planning on fishing? Spider rigging? Crankin? Dippin? Rumor has it the fish are on the wood in 15-20 ft. deep...typical summer pattern, bluffs and structure.

You could plan on putting in at the Route U gravel ramp. We'll be in the vicinity I'd imagine!

FYI - Lake is at 617 and droppin.

Looking forward to it!

I'd like to see the water slowly go down to about 610 and stabilize for a few days just before camp...

Better watch out Greg.......will all the tears flowing on the SF blog, the lake might jump another 10 ft.

Game for anyhow anywhere. I am set up for rigging dipping or trolling. And used to catching sometimes. All I know is I am sure looking forward to getting on the water and catching up with the MT. bunch. Way too much work going on my way hope we have a good time.

Agreed on the work aspect...... I can tell you unless something changes drastically, we'll be pulling cranks for the most part with a little rigging mixed in, location TBD.

Robbie, let us know on color of crank baits to have. You can pm us if you don't want to broadcast it here.

Looks like the Corp. is pulling Twain down a little over a foot a day. Just a hair over 616' right now....... assuming they are trying to get her down to normal pool, and if we can avoid major rain, should be right around normal pool for camp.

That being said, I agree with Greg that 610 would be better!

seems like in the past, when they drop the lake, they hold it around 610-612 for a few days then start dropping it again. I happen to be there twice when that happened. once on a day trip and once on a weekend. it was some fine fishing!

Looking forward to this coming weekend hope all that can make it. Going to be forever till friday gets here.

**Route U** · 08-16-2015, 09:51 AM

614' as of today.

`seems like we are gonna have a few more guys than I thought. I don't think my weber will be able to handle the load of steaks in a timely manor so what do you guys think? I'm all ears here. my thoughts are we can do brats and burgers and such on the grill or I could bring my fryer and cook up some fish and taters? only problem with that is I don't have enough fish as of yet to go around, but I just whipped up a mess of noodles and I'm going to try to wrangle up some eater sized blues this evening..
614 is good, hope they shut the water down about Wednesday or so...
