Just checked this morning and getting the same reading as yesterday!Gonna have to ride down there. Another question I have . If you launch off the state park ramp, at Enid, Do they have pay envelopes at the ramp or what time does the office open? I want to launch by 5am. I'm igernant in this matter!

dont believe everything u read on the Internet. In order for them to take 3 ft of water out in 12 hrs they would have to blow the levee. Also in order for there to be some good fishing in the near future they going to have to restock it.

Restocking is not a bad idea but there are enough left to restock itself.

Not saying it needs restocking just saying that's what it would take to get those near future results we been hearing about since feb.

Agreed

While im sure there was an abnormally large amount of over 12 inch fish caught last summer it still doesnt explain all of the fish in the lake under 12 that are not being caught this year either. This is wording from a 2010 ms crappie fishing article. Seems these water conditions have had the exact same effect in the past.

Butta is getting a week deserved rest this year and it needs it.

I meant well deserved rest. Dang autocorrect.
