That dam is way too close to a university to use the word "discharge" in any sentence referring to it.

I've been using the river level information on the NOAA site.  The Fort Ripley gauge is the next one up river from me so I get a little advanced warning of what to expect.  The level has been dropping steadily since the weekend and looking better for fishing every day.

Wanderer, if want good fishing this weekend go try below the dam in LF. I know many people that have been down there sucker fishing and all they catch are eater eyes (15 inch or so). This is all from shore in maple island park.

Always fish to catch at the dam.  The whole reservoir south is good this time of year.

 

Levels at the LF Dam have been dropping all week.

That's what I've been hearing as well.

Wow it's really high now! How do you find the bass in all that high muddy water? All I found yesterday was northerns. I had a really big one following yesterday and pulled my lure out just in time.

It may be challenging for sure.  After seeing the flow the laat week in LF, i will forego this weekend and spend a day with bow in hand instead.  Fish are still there, i would venture to guess a guy would find them behind deep current breaks.

Yah, she's a bit higher than I like.  Crested today from what I can tell.  But with so much rain in the forecast after tomorrow I'm betting she goes up even more next week.

Crazy high for this time of yr.... lots of wood and garbage floating. On a positive note, fish are biting pretty good

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒
    • Wanderer
      Nope!  But it’s more funner!
    • smurfy
      I don't need no livescope to catch fish....🤔🤪  It's all in how ya wiggle the worm!😜 Just sayin  🤣
    • Kettle
      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish

      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too

      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭

      That was a better study compared to last winter when they setup the vertical tube nets and tried to release exhausted fish from being studied and expected them to be able to swim straight down a 3' hoop net.     That lake's crappie population from this latest video was pretty deep at 40-50', and no doubt from those depths that is barotrauma for most.  That is deeper than most crappie holes but certainly how some are. However from helping give fish a good release from the 35' and less range and tracking them with live sonar most of them swim at a shallow angle back to the depths and I watch them rejoin the school and be active.  Uncut Angling's video helped counter some of the initial narrow findings.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.
