Anyone been to John Hays since we've had all the rain, and if so is the water up across the road. Don't want to waste a trip if the water is over the road and you can't get to the ramp.

Just got back from there and it's fine. It's up some but not close to the road and not near as high as it got last year.
Still crazy crowded?

It was. I couldn't believe it for a Tuesday afternoon with 15-20mph winds. I think about 15 boats, definitely 10+. But I still enjoy fishing there.
Thanks for the info guys. It is amazing how many show up to fish the lake, I wish they would expand the parking area and fix the road so that it was not so hard to get in and find a place to park.
Did you make it there? Do any good?

Have not made it to the lake yet, will be trying to get there Monday but the flash flooding in Salem has me concerned about the lake level now?
Good luck with that, worked all day today in Salem...looks like a war zone. Cars flipped over, tractor trailers in the creek, sheds four houses away.

I actually made it out there this afternoon. It's up to the edge of the road but not over. Lots of debris floating around. Fish were biting but kept getting ran off by thunderstorms.
I never would have thunk it

Still have not been able to get to the lake, anymore news about the level of the water and the road into the lake?
looks more like a dam broke or a tornado!!! thats awful
Finally made it to the lake on Memorial Day with the grandson, wish I could say we tore them up but the water was still up and muddy. The road coming into the lake is getting worse and worse. There is a very deep hole at the first bend that you have to be very careful to avoid. I sent an email to [email protected] he isWater Distribution Superintendent and Water Treatment Superintendent. I hope he will look at the road and help make it not so dangerous to get your boat to the lake. There must have been 15 to 20 boats at the lake that day and parking was a nightmare. They parked along the road and in the tall grass making it very hard to get by the trailers and to the ramp. I have never seen this lake fished so hard, and I have fished here for over 20 years. I may have to find another lake to go to if it stays this crowded.
i feel for you. It's getting wicked everywhere.Quote:
