I have a friend with a cabin on Lake Secession that I spoke with today. He said rumor has it that the dam repairs should be completed mid March with the lake beginning to refill at that point. How soon it gets to full pond of course depends on rain. Apparently they drain for repairs every 10 years and it takes several years for the really good fishing to return.
Thanks for the info. After you start catching crappie there then I will start fishing there. Don
Yes I'm afraid this fill up may take awhile. I was under the impression that they had already started the fill up but may have got bad info.

We can only hope for a good spawn there. One of my favorite lakes. Keep us informed when you hear more.

From what I have been told fill up has started and expect lake to be full by 2nd week of March.
Water is rising every day

Wow that is good news, one of my favorite lakes.
Talked to a guy working on the dam on Thursday the 9th and he said that they had just put the plug in. I looked yesterday and it has come up some but it's rising slow.
We rode out yesterday just to see what the lake looked liked. The water has already begun to rise and is at the bottom of the ramp now! It will take a ton of rain for it to reach full pool by the 2nd week of march
I once thought I was wrong but discovered I was mistaken. Boy - I was mistaken on this one. Glad to see that they are way ahead of my schedule.
I see a kayak trip real soon [emoji16]

Fished Russell today and decided to ride by Secession on the way home.

Still got a long way to go. No way by mid-March like we hoped.
Thanks for the update. We need a lot of rain before our lakes will rebound.

Hate seeing all the lakes as low as they are but still...........it does look like a good kayaking lake now. One thing for sure.....a lot less places for them to hide if you can fish it.
There were 5 or 6 folks fishing from the bank (if that's what you want to call it) and they said they had caught fish the day before. I doubt there's gonna be much of a spawn tho.Quote:
