Hey Guys,

My step-dad and Mom just moved to Granbury and he wants to go looking for Striper and Sand bass this Saturday. Are they down by the dam or are they even biting right now? Any help would be much appreciated!


Thanks

Not sure if you have noticed, but it has been raining ALOT for the past week. Everything on the Brazos river from Possum Kingdom to Lake Whitney has been flooding. Possum Kingdom is releasing a major about of water that would totally flood the Town of Granbury if the gates on the lake were not open. Granbury Lake has been getting flushed for several days with all the mud and trash in the Brazos River from PK to Granbury passing thru the lake. I'm not an expert but fishing on Granbury this weekend might be a little tough.

Has it been raining? Never noticed..... I asked a simple question and I definitely didn't ask for a Smart*ss answer. so next time instead of being rude you can just not reply. Thanks.

day 1!

Well, I don�t think loco was being a smart azz. Just going by your post, one could assume you could be away from the Granbury area and unaware of the severity of the situation, and he explained it. Good luck with you fishing, and congrats on your first few posts.

Not sure "loco" was being a smart [censored]. Also not the best way to get info when you start off like that.

The lake has been going up and down daily from full pool to 2.06ft low...as of right now we are 1.65ft low at the dam and 1.25ft low at north (river) end.

The stripers and other fish have been sent through the gates this week. Once the lake is back to normal and clears up a bit you will have better luck.

Wow. Good luck sir!

You can be assured your questions will carry zero interest from most of us that would normally respond positively.

Loco was just stating the truth. its a muddy mess right now. Good luck!!

Yes it�s going to be awhile before granbury is fishable IMO, it�s chocolate milk all the way to the dam. As of Saturday the water was flowing around the channel markers.

BRA put out on Facebook on Sunday evening that they had passed 410,000 surface acres of water through Granbury in the past 12 days. That is enough water to completely drain and refill the lake 3 times.

I read that as well SB, I�m wondering what it will do to the fish population.

Whitney is going to fish really well for awhile. The fish that I still have hanging around my dock are very pale colored.

Well that�s good to know that there�s still some stripers in granbury, are you on the the south end of lake?

Yes sir, across from the power plant. As strange as this sounds, it looks like the inflow of water now is hitting the dam and bouncing back the other direction. All of the debris is moving back up the lake. I have been watching floaters all day going the wrong direction.
