I never fished at the outlet. I heard nice fish come up when its being released.
I might give it a try. Any "go to" lures for it? I'm guessing with heavy current heavier jigheads/rooster tails/crankbaits?
You won't be able to fish the outlet until it is decreased to around 600 or less. At 2000 it's screaming out of the pipe. I suppose you could go down quite a ways to get away from the heaviest current but I've never done any good once you get past the end of the rocks
The outlet pool will be restocked :-)
Sticky nailed it on the head.Quote:

It was increased to 6000 yesterday. That's nuts! I'll have to make sure to drive by and see it. They don't open it up that far very often.
Sticky. at 6000 fps that is something I want to see also---tomorrow
Most I've seen it was at 5k fps. Didn't need to walk down the rocks as you could fish from the top of the parking areas. Please post pics!
You should have been there in 1993 went they opened it to 20,000 cfs. You could feel the ground vibrate in your feet
I remember that DenOz. My dad had gone over to check trotlines, and came scrambling into my office... "you gotta come see this!" Of course I took off the afternoon and we went. Closest thing in Kansas I ever saw to a Niagra Falls experience.Quote:

Slid by the outlet this afternoon, no less than thirty vehicles and probably twice as many fisher persons, looks like they knocked the outflow in the head and now is a trickle. Many fish being caught around 3 to 6 inches.
Yep, so many people that you needed a ticket to get in. Letting out more than a trickle. The river is backed up very high due to the Kaw being so high that it makes the outflow look low.
They are releasing 50,000 cfs from Toledo Bend. Makes for some rapids in the spillway!!
must of had a great spawn in the Kaw the last couple of years??Quote:
