Foss is really dangerous to fish in the winter with high winds. It will definitely make you pucker.
my friend used to fish it it can get dangerous quick especially in a jon boat.
Oh I will be looking out for that. I do not like wind or waves in the jon boat one bit. I tend to stick relatively close to the bank on bigger bodies of water anyways, canton will be no exception.
I was on the Arkansas river in my canoe below lock 16 and a HUGE storm came up.
I was 2 miles up river from Gore and seen the clouds and rain.
We pulled the canoe up onto shore and back into the woods a bit and flipped it over to get under it.
Of course I put fresh bait on my poles first and tossed them out and tied them to a tree.
Rode out the quick moving storm under the boat.
Right as the rain let up a snake crawled under the boat right in front of me.
10" from my face looking at me I quickly got out from under the boat and went and checked the poles.
Got back to the boat ramp and trees were blown down into the parking lot.
Big cotton wood trees.
Limbs everywhere and only car in the lot was my 1982 Mustang, the trees missed it.
Lucky.
Later we were told a tornado came through and people split and were amazed that the Mustang did not get hit.
Yes we caught fish that day but none on the poles I set out before the storm.
You do not have to ride the storm out on the lake you can use that small boat for cover.
I had a 4 HP gas engine on my canoe.

Spent my younger days on a lot of flooded rivers in Oklahoma Duck Hunting if your in fast moving water you had better have your act together! my childhood friend was a very good boater from very young! we killed a ton of ducks every year but i look back and think were lucky to be alive! wouldn't trade those days for the world!!!I was on the Arkansas river in my canoe below lock 16 and a HUGE storm came up.

I heard from one of the LEOs at Hefner that they're releasing water from Canton now, should get here in a few days.
They're repairing one of the boat ramps at Hefner.

Good info! That means it should be good time to fish the dam/spillway at Canton
