:Rofl Armyman, I kayak couldn't even get to it right now, lake really needs to get to at least 212 to get this far up but there will be crappy caught here all spring long.
Coach, I know that cattle gap well but man it sure has changed a lot since 96. No telling how many crappie I have caught in there and never put a boat in the water.
I don't need no kayak, I got my feet. A friend of mine that lives on Enid told me about it and how to get there. I started my fishing from the bank. My friend said he caught some slabs in that ditch!:biggrinQuote:

Can you drive on the old roadbed or have to take the field road?
Both
I made one trip across that bridge ages ago. Working on a locomotive, didn't have time to look at fishing spots.
that looks like a place you could sit on the bank and fill up a five gallon bucket. Looks like an old southern picture with little boys sitting on bank fishing.
Jimmy, this pic is at Bruce Junction, the tracks have been removed from Coffeeville all the way to Bruce. The sand bars up and down the creek make a heck of a place to camp for the weekend.Quote:

IC/ICGRR use to service E L Bruce when I first started working there. They sold the line to Skuna Valley RR and a senior machinist went to work for them. B P Entp. reworked the roadbed years ago. More lumber started to be shipped by truck than rail. As a kid I would count 15 to 20 carloads leave Bruce on a train. The last train I saw had 2 carloads.
Yeah, there is something brewing here right now as far as RR is concerned. The tracks between Grenada and Coffeeville have been cleared and cleaned up. They move over 300 box cars up to Coffeeville in the last week, maybe just for storage, I don't know.
Yep, they have cleared the tracks from Grenada to Winona and now have several box cars sitting there.
Grenada RR is getting a lot of cars for storage from CNRR. Talking to someone that works for them said every siding is being filled with storage cars.
Cars have a 30, 40, 50 year contract before they have to be scraped or an almost complete rebuild. Might be waiting for scrap prices to go up.
South of Coldwater there are 15 to 20 tankers stored all the time. Murphy (Delta Refinery) will swap them out when needed. I was told it was No. 2 diesel.
They spawn that far up? Wow
Rees said he drove up to it. Looks like a great place to bring the cookers and have a bobber fest. :cheers2Quote:

We do too but there are always some that will run up a creek just as far as they can, they will run upstream after a rain when the creek is hi and then be trapped in the holes, happens every year and some years there just aint anywhere else to be but up a ditch or creek or river.Quote:

I found that hole.
An email to MDWFP got this reply:
There is no state 10 inch length limit.
The 12 inch length limit is in effect within COE Grenada Lake boundaries.
404 - File or directory not found.
So cane, this means that, for instance, I'm fishing the Coldwater River and according to the map boundary I am outside of it, I can keep any fish that is worthy of keeping?
YEP , BUT MR. WARDEN BETTER KNOW BOUNDARIES, YOU CAN'T WRITE TICKETS ! LOL
Already considered that....if I do that, I'll have a Corps lake map with me.....for sure!Quote:

Rees, you referenced a pic, but I didn't see one?Quote:

I must be emailing with a newbie or a dumbie at MDWFP. Why can't we have a copy of the booklet we pick up at most stores online?
I know we have a 12" limit on these waters. I know we have an 11" limit on these waters. I know we have a 9" limit on these waters. I know we have no limit on these waters.
By Stanley T there isn't a length limit anywhere but these bodies of water.
Link is no good cane says 404 file not found on my end. And a noob you say, I was fortunate enough to speak with one of those with the COE. Every question I asked was answered with, I'm not sure.. meanwhile thumbing thru a small COE rule book. Then when I asked for one of those small books he finally new an answer.. it was NO
