It wasn't as of Saturday. They had Rangers at the entrances on both sides of the dam preventing access. We got some great pictures coming from the North side if you drive real slow (don't even think about stopping or you get a good scolding by the Rangers). But since the gates got closed a little on Sunday, they might have opened up again now. Prior to it being closed, I heard several nice sized kitties were being caught.

As of Sunday afternoon the Dam was still closed for access. Really is amazing how much water is flowing through there.

With the water level dropping 3' towards the end of last week, we had to keep a close eye on our dock. We were hanging up on one of the pencils and pounding it with a sledge hammer wasn't working like it usually does. We had to go redkneck and take out a floor jack and a 2x6 board. We put the board under the cap on the pencil and used the jack to "lower" the dock down on the pencil. Had to buy a pedal boat in order to get out to the dock though since the 1st section of walkway is still under water. The boat said it was rated for 5 people -- they must have been talking about kids because 3 grown men just about sank it. We discovered with that much weight in the boat, the paddle pushes water under and over which means you really go no place. That's my walkway in the background.

Is the dam open for fishing yet?

**Stinkfinger** · 06-06-2015, 09:12 AM

From what I have been told, the Corp closed that area due to drunks fighting over a place to park. What started out as a couple of guys fighting turned into a knock out brawl.

Stink, fishing is serious sometimes lol

Guys there are some fish biting on the south end of the lake the water is 6-18 inch vis. Now you have to beat the flooded bushes but you can get into some. All the fish caught in the top of the bushes 2-4ft deep. Lime chart has been the best color. EB

Thanks for the informative post EB. Is the ramp at Arrowhead easily used? I'm thinking about coming down tomorrow,and I've never used that ramp before.
Thanks,
Racquet an
