im going trout fishing on broken bow and i was just wondering how the trout fishing is? or if i should bass fish instead? thanks

According to Rob Woodruff's site, it's excellent right now. I know I spent a day LY up there about this time of year and it was excellent. Almost no people during the week, wet wade and it feels like springtime.

Here's Rob's latest report:

Right now the fishing is really good up in the upper ends of the park, IE-Evening Hole, Lost Creek and Spillway Creek. The wet wading feels GREAT!!! Check out Lower Mountain Fork River Foundation on Facebook and you will see current reports for that river.
Hope you have a great time and give us a report and some pix!!

I plan on being there on Friday, taking the fly rod for this trip.

Wife and I are going up for the weekend. Catch and release just to bother the fish!!! Where is the "Evening hole"? Is there a different access to spillway creek other then by Lost Creek and walking up stream?.

There are some C&R areas and some non-C&R areas. OKWD has reasons for these zones that they can best explain if you'll contact them.

Spillway Creek can be accessed from the top, under the spillway. There's parking and a nice trail. Or used to be.

Here's the map to the spillway

Thanks! Meant to be funny, b/c I dont generally keep any fish anyway, I just go to upset their routines and give them stories to tell the other trout! I have always just takes the "cut-back" after crossing the dam. I wasn't aware I could go further down and get to the top of spillway creek.

Hey badgrandad my wife and I will also be up their for the weekend!! Should be their fri. Evening by 8 or so an planing on hitting river at day break if u need some help or info? We will be starting below the evning whole and working our way up!!

Not sure if I was replying to the right person but who Evers going up if u need help let me no!

I guess I killed this thread somehow !! Sorry just trying to offer some help!!
Are I'm here at work and there all already up on the river!!!! ????

Troy, Sorry I didn't get back on the forum to see your offer! I had the chance to leave a day early (Thursday at noon) so I took it. Hope I saw you there, my wife and I fished the Lost creek area with the 75-100 new "best friends" we met there!

Pretty discouraging to see all those people using bait and taking so many fish out of the Red Zone area.

We managed to catch a few with best being right at sun-up.

I need to wait until summer vacation time is over and maybe the crowds will subside. We had people actually casting over our lines after we caught a few.

Maybe we can catch up next trip! Tim

That's cool it was very slow for us to this time !! Lots of folks their!!

75-100 people using bait? Seems like OKWD would take the opportunity to fill their coffers with fine money from the numerous citations for illegal fishing. Better than a red light camera!

I tried to tell the one's who were friendly enough to talk that the Red Zone was artificial only (barbless to boot) but it will only change when the rules start getting enforced. It's a shame to see a fishery that draws so many from so far is not managed by some moderate enforcement, even warning tickets.

One gentleman caught an enormous rainbow 26-28+" that he released after asking me to take his photo.
