has anyone fished the sheds in the past 2 weeks?
How are the levels

Went to Oak Ridge last Sunday, very low. Launchable but lowest I've seen it this year. Looking to go this weekend to so curious about the other ones too.

Went to Canistear Sunday and it wasnt too bad. Only down about 18". Still tricky to launch though with so many rocks in the launch area and that 18"makes a difference.

How was the fishing, I was at Clinton mid last week and it was tough bite. Granted, maybe I didn’t give them what they wanted.

Heads up as of this weekend Oak Ridge is closed indefinetely. They have to lower the reservoir to replace a broken valve.

Not a good season, first Clinton lowered early spring now Oak Ridge in addition to a dry season

How did you hear about Oak Ridge ? Is there a website that provide information ?

I called Friday to check on the status of the water level at Oak Ridge and they said it was closed for dam repair. Went to Clinton Saturday instead, spoke with a few guys there that said they went to Oak Ridge first and saw that it was closed.

I heard same story about Oak Ridge from guys at Clinton on Sunday then saw a Facebook post talking about the valve repair and needed draw down. IDK about everyone else at Clinton Sunday but they weren't biting at all aside from a small pickerel. Looks like shed season is over for me.

I fished in Sunday for about 6 hours between the 2 of us on boat
1 LMB 1 smb and 2 pickerel
Not great, but that lake is sweet scenery
We threw tons of different stuff, I guess we didn’t throw what they wanted.
