My Korkers work fine everywhere on the river.
The ones that I just got from Korkers open way up very easily. And, thanks for the tip about the felt soles.
Alex
They said nothing about having encountered the problem before. They just replaced my boots with a new pair (including two soles) of boots. BTW, the new pair has the BOA lacing system, which I prefer.
The little tab on the back of the boot that the soles latch onto came off on my right boot. I may have gotten it stuck in something in the stream, but I’m really sure how it happened.
I was at Potts all day. There was one other car there in the morning when I went down to the river, and there were no cars there at 3:00pm when I left.
BTW, it was a very good day of fishing. Hooked about 19 fish and brought most of them to net.
Paul,
I’m not sure what you mean by “until march well that a good value foe LAP,” but wading across #5 above the weir is relatively easy, but wading down that side of the river isn’t. There are no easy wades with the flows at 500, but for relative ease and productivity, I would choose Ponderosa.
Alex
Good points, Ron.
I went fishing yesterday and did fine. However, I’ve decided that, although I can wade in the kind of flows we’re having, I don’t really enjoy it. So, I’ve been “edging,” fishing stretches where I can fish relatively close to shore. The good news is that, with the higher flows, there are fish everywhere.
Alex
Thanks for the peek into out trout’s first home.
And, how great would it be to live on a property with its own spring creek.
That makes sense. Thanks, Bruce.

Jimbo,
Could you explain to me why Canyon Lake needs to be at or near pool. My naive sense is that the lake is like a savings account and, and a result, it’s good to have reserve water for drought emergencies. So, why don’t they let the high levels remain until there is a need to release water? Is it because the dam can’t take the pressure of high lake levels, or because structures around the lake are threatened by high lake levels? Or is there another reason for these releases?
Alex
I know what it feels like to see a beloved rod descend into the depths. Your friend has my sympathies. I went to look for my rod when flows were in the 300s, but no dice. I’ll try again when they get even lower.
Alex
Terrific report, Jimbo. It’s hard to express how grateful I am to you and to everyone else involved for the wonderful trout fishing we have deep in the heart.
I also got out on MLK Day. I fished from early in the morning to around 1:00 pm. I went to #5 first and fished below the weir and down to Barking Dog Pool, catching around 10 trout. I then went to Maricopa, where I caught about the same number (perhaps a few fewer). No bruisers that day, but a few went 18 to 19″.
I caught all my fish on small nymphs and eggs. It was a beautiful day, one that shared with plenty of other anglers. It was also the day I lost my sunglasses, an exceedingly small price to pay for so much pleasure.
Alex
Thanks, Jerry. But, I lost them yesterday, after the fish truck had done its work.
You are a bearer of great news, Jimbo. First, that the stocking went well, and, second, about the flows. A summer of fly fishing for our trout would be superb gift. As always, we are very grateful for all that you do.
I visited the nursery yesterday. The idea is really fantastic. Now, let’s just hope it works!
