I will be there. I will be available for traffic control if needed.

I plan to be there for the stocking.
I will be available for Traffic Control as I have in years past.

I agree 100% about Mathew’s Rod and Reel. They have worked on 2 of my fly rods and you can’t tell their work from the original rod builder.
I will be there. I will be available for traffic!??♀️?
I will be there and ready to do traffic like I have in past years!
Thank you for the information. I totally forgot about the feeding program. I reading about the spawning habits of the Guadalupe Bass. I found that they can have a 2nd spawn in late summer/early fall that is now. My thinking is that the pellets floated over their spawning beds and that is why all the fish I saw were Guadalupe Bass. The article I read stated they like to setup their beds in shallow fast moving water. That was where I found them. It was quite a sight to see so many larger Guadalupe Bass In one spot.
The article also stated that after the females lay their eggs the males drive off the females and they stay to protect the eggs.
There is a deeper hole starting at the down stream end of caps which is two properties down stream from CVC that I estimate art over 6 or 7 ft deep. If any trout are to survive they will probably go there. Caught a couple of rainbows at CVC a couple of weeks ago where the water flows around the small island and flows back with the regular river flow. Everything I have caught was stripping my line back from the drift.
Took water temp in the middle of the river at Maricopa on 05/04/22 at approx 10:00 AM. Flow was so low small branches in the water did not move for over a half hour. I recorded a temp of 65 deg. Had (2) very large carp (around 36”) swim past me about 6” under water approx 5 ft in front of me.
I will also volunteer to help pickup the trash. Like Jimbo I also have a can picker. Hospital gave it to me along with a walker when I had my hip replaced. No longer need the walker. My wife would also like to come.
I believe CVC (Gordos) is also on the seasonal lease list.
Based on the comment from Alex I placed the thermometer in a glass full of water and ice cubes and watched how long it would respond to the temp change. It took 4 or 5 minutes for the reading to go from 70 deg to the 33 deg in the glass. I might not have held it in the river long enough to get the the correct reading. The water still did feel warm when I went into it. Will take better readings at Maricopa later this week.
Just about anything is possible, but like I said the water felt warm when I first entered. That was why I decided to check the temperature. My thermometer is an old mercury bulb industrial type and is still perfectly sealed. No cracks in the glass. I am going to try and fish Maricopa later this week. I’ll see what it does up there.
I will be there!
I will again be available for traffic control.
I have fished the White River twice now with fairly good results. I fished just below the Beaver Dam. There is a parking lot very close to the dam that also now has restrooms.
I fished the far bank next to the rocks. Caught rainbows and browns.
Have to listen for the siren as within 5to10 minutes the title wave from the dam will raise the water level 3 to 4 ft. Quickly. Seem in Arkansas they only have a water release once a day and then it returns to its previous level.
We stayed at a place called Spider Creek Lodge which is just down the road from the Beaver Dam.
I do not go on face book or those type of sites, but I think I have a quick cure to help with that. We should advertise that TU will no longer stock large trout due to the large number of fish being poached. We should then start stocking the size we got from the hatchery for the last stocking. This would put a lot more fish in the river and hopefully discourage a lot of these interlopers coming to our leases to take fish home. In addition if we do not put fish over 18” in the river nobody could legally take fish out of our leases. This would not cost us any money and possibly help the poaching and overfishing problem.
