Default Southern Reservoirs now open!

May 8 we can wet a line, can't wait. Been playing with the gear for a week, wandering by the hooks in the local CT. Might have to hit the Fishing Hole for nothing I need but want

Should be able to test run the boat by May 1.

Have fun, play safe!

My biggest concern is there will not be enough water to launch in any of the southern reservoirs.

Based on the low low levels this past fall unless we get some serious snow and rain I'll have t o consider buying a inflatable or changing all my fishn spots to the north

Lets hope for the best

I'm hopeful that there will be enough water in most of the reservoirs to launch a boat when the season opens. The ones that I fish managed to make some gains in the fall, so hopefully they will be able to add to it with runoff.

The question is, will there be enough water towards the end of the season?
Fingers crossed.

There will be lots of water to fish at the beginning of the year, it’s the August/September months that may be hard to find water.

Four weeks today we can take the boat for a rip!

Has anyone used the boat launch at pine coulee yet? Just wondering if the water level is high enough to launch most boats. I haven’t been there for a few years but heard that it was pretty low last year.

Looks like it is low but doable based on this recent YouTube post:
