Randy: If 9 ft of water comes down that river you need to put in at the 1287 Bridge or Seymour. Those big ole gal stripers have been holding all that whoopie for 7 years.

Naa.....the fish I caught this weekend were over the whoopie thing.
All missiles with no belly.

Differant fish no eggs

Don't know why the server turned all three of us upside down

Big storms hammering Pk watershed now. Gauge on double mt fork at Rule still climbing will reach 10ft soon and isn't slowing down yet.

Gauge in aspermont climbing fast 8.5 ft now

At best we will only rise another foot or two. don't let these misleading post make you bthink something different. We are not going to fill up!!!!!!!

Who said y'all would fill up? Gonna take more than one rain event to bring the lake up 12ft. Here's where my misleading info is coming from.....

Rule tx crested at 9.5 aspermont crested 8.5ft.....no that doesn't mean the lake will rise 8ft

It has came up 2ft in the last month and almost a foot in the last week and it's still slowing rising now. Every little bit helps.

If all those stripers spawned successfully, PK will be as full of small stripers as Texoma. We'll need the same catch limit for a while as well...10 no min length

I'm pretty sure the only way pk has baby stripers is if they are stocked by the state. Texoma is only lake around that has perfect balance for natural spawning. Am I wrong?

Do the striper ever successfully spawn in pk? I thought Texoma was the only lake they would successfully spawn in.

Stipers do spawn on a limited basis in Whitney, Granbury, and PK. Stiper eggs need current to hatch. That is why spawning is limited.That information was given to me long ago by TP&W

If you look closely around docks and other structure at PK you will see billions of 3/4 inch fry swimming around.
Something made some whoopie. Most likely Sand bass or Threadfins.

Agreed - with Alan Henry now full I believe we look to the Dbl Mtn Fork and Salt Forks from where they convene to Seymour and down to PK for hopeful heavy flow and rains. Correct me if I am wrong.

Brazos at Seymour is currently flowing at 1320cfs. Was at about 160cfs this time yesterday. Level has risen 3.5ft overnight.
