Paddle fish

[fishfurlife]

Any reports of fish up in the tier above grand yet? Or any reports of fish being caught behind Kaw? Planning to make a trip up to one of the two this coming weekend. Still a little early I know, but it is what time allows.

Paddlefishing below Kaw has been rated very good in the tailwaters, mostly during the week. For what ever reason, they run more water through the hydro during the week, but shut it down on the weekend.

^^^^^ Is that earlier than usual for Kaw? Seems like we used to always go during April.

Very early. I'm betting the water temps have brought them up the river. Kaw lake water temps at the dam are 47 degrees, but by the time it gets to Keystone, its likely in the high 50's.

Thank you Dennis. I appreciate the update. I got word today that the fish are starting into the river above grand.

I know some guys that have slayed them on Oologah the last couple of days.

I can vouch for them beginning to stage in the Neosho River.
