That's some quality ice, Swampratt. Look at the defined edges. I imagine you paid a premium for such cooling abilities without needing a power outlet. Nice fish too!
I personally have never had good luck trout fishing on the LIR. Then, last time I was there (1-2 years ago) I saw that the water was barely trickling by. I learned that there had been repairs to the dam which "fixed" the leak which had previously maintained the flow downstream, and that the Corps of Engineers didn't want to allocate any water for the trout fishery. So, what's the status of it now? is the trout fishery still viable? Is it in danger? I have caught lots of trout in the lower Mountain Fork River, but now I have a boat at Pine Cove Marina which is right at the Tenkiller dam, so I need to start trout fishing there!
Is Mar-Val still a good place to fish?
You just have to fish it to learn it. Things have gotten better there. They have put in a system that puts dissolved oxygen in the water during the hots summer days. Right now with colder weather the fish are really spread out everywhere. I posted this video a couple weeks ago.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iVRVaiTSyCY&desktop_uri=/watch?v=iVRVaiTSyCY. Fished about 4-5 hours and I landed 32, Russell probably had that many as well.
Cold day to fish but worth going
