So as to stop hijacking Qwapa's thread about the Siuslaw, lets give the lakes their own little home, they'll appreciate it.
Dam usually opens around the 15th each year, it's privately owned by international paper. Even though there's a fish ladder, these fish are half braindead, 'cause the majority of them don't use it until that dam is opened up. Peak season is the first part of November in previous years, though it's all dependent on rainfall and tides, and in my experience, the end of november when the water drops to around 50 degrees, you could hit these fish in the head with a plug and they'd still have lockjaw, even though they're in there in massive numbers. That's when you switch to steelhead on the rivers
Hooray for the endless fishing season.
I think i'll be making my first trip over there on the 18th since I get the pleasure of working the saturday of the 17th. Might check out the river and see how many fish are stacked below the dam, i'm betting there's quite a few, if the numbers on the Siuslaw are any indication. Plus the last two years, we had a TON of jacks in both lakes..hopefully this year, there will be a surge of those 36 inchers. One can hope!
