One very confused guy kept insisting the water level would be fine "once they release the water from the dam". Problem? The lake is behind the dam. :sad:
Let's hope that anyone actually trying to fix the problem; isn't as...umm..."confused" as that guy! :yikes:
From big cliff dam to packsaddle is closed for fishing new regs for 2015. I can confirm your reports there are fatty trout and steelies in there. I caught my first summer steelhead on a fly in that section. That section has some very good spawning beds and with this years lack of snow pack it may be the only place where the fish will be able to reproduce due to cold water from the dam.I wasn't with him at the time, but I'm fairly certain it was a fat steelhead and spinners he was using. The area I'm referring to is about 1/4 mile west of the actual dam.
