J Barlow Angler Registered: 05/02/06 Posts: 295 Loc: Richardson	The river below the dam(Lower Mountain Fork River) is full of fish. I fished last year and caught trout, large mouth bass, small mouth bass, kentucky bass, pickrel, catfish and all kinds of brim. You can either start way up in the park right below the wade fishing only area or you can start down below the re-regulation dam and go about 6 miles through the rock gardens to the highway take-out. There are longer trip that go even further down stream also. The trout we caught were all up just below the wade only area. That is also where we caught the pickrel. We caught most of the small mouth bass below the rereg dam and caught large mouth bass and kentucky bass everywhere. It was alot of fun. I would recommend getting a shuttle and doing the stretch from the rereg dam to the highway. _________________________ www.barlowstackle.com

Bass Art TFF Team Angler Registered: 03/16/03 Posts: 3876 Loc: Talty, TX	Everything J Barlow said is bankable. I've fished the LMF for years, especially the river below the Reregulation Dam. We have caught 16 different species there this summer. Mac with Ambush is a great guy, and he will help you with shuttle services if you ask. BUT, the COE is working on the hydroelectric part of the dam right now (9/28-10/8), and unless temps in the pools below the park get too high, they will not run water through the dam. That means the spillway, at 150 cfs, is the only water running down the river. That would definitely be a beating in a kayak right now. You would be dragging as much as paddling, and that's a long way to drag. The warmer water species would probably be pretty active, but trout won't be. You might be better off paddling the bend inside the park where the park outfitter runs their kayaks and canoes. _________________________ Artie ________________________________ Dad took me fishing when I was 10, and I've been pretty much hooked since.
