Hey Robert. Go over to the BB Flyshop message board and check out the pics that Aaron has put up of Spillway Creek. It looks really good! A little like a western mountain stream. I'm amazed and pretty excited. Now I'm hoping the Corp will do a big release (but much smaller than this last one) every spring, just for the sake of trout-stream maintenance.

Yes absolutely it really does help the water system.

Have a cabin rented in broken bow June 5,6, and 7th. was hoping to do some fishing. Any help you guys can give me would be very much appreciated. Any info on where we might take the kids so they might catch something would help. thanks

You will most likely be fishing the Broken Bow Reservoir above the dam in the Hochatown State Park rather than the Lower Mountain Fork River trout stream in Beavers Bend Park below the dam because Beavers Bend Park is closed due to the destruction wrought by the flood from the dam last week. Hm, looking at the online fishing report from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation you might not be fishing on the reservoir either:
Broken Bow: May 24. All access to the lake is closed. Report submitted by Dru Polk, game warden stationed in McCurtain County.
Lower Mountain Fork: May 24. Closed at Beavers Bend State Park and Spillway Creek due to flooding. Report submitted by Mark Hannah, game warden stationed in McCurtain County.
Closures at Beavers Bend & Hochatown State Park

May 28, 2015: Lakeview Lodge in the Hochatown area is open for business. Beavers Bend State Park remains closed to through traffic and essential personnel only are permitted in the park. The golf course remains closed.

The present high water on the Broken Bow Reservoir / Hochatown State park might recede to safe levels by the time of your trip in June. Beavers Bend park will remain closed.

You should be able to fish Zone 3. I would think....

I hate to see kid go without fishing.....and businesses to suffer, but it's starting

Careful about fishing in the lower sections, you still have 6200 cfs coming out of the generators right now. Sorry.

Yeah speed stick, now might be the time to ask about your reservation. Is the cabin in the park? Is there a way to get your deposit back considering the entire area us shut down?

Talked to guide who caught 30 today in zone3. PM me if interested in a trip.

I would love to get in and hit spillway right now bet it's good!

Fixing to leave for broken bow area, CABIN UP BY hOCHATOWN. WILL CHECK IN WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS ANY TIPS ON WHERE TO FISH IF POSSIBLE

Well the park is closed. The only fishing is on the banks of the lake...

What a bummer river looks so good( didn't think I would say that) but I really look forward to getting up there in exploring the new terrain.

Atleast everyone will be learning it again for the 1st time.

Flood control pool down to 84% hope it keeps going down without opening the gates again.

YAY!!
