I FISHED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY ,years ago,early 80's,i think it was ?i always liked that lake ,fishn/drinkn beer in the shade :wink:
the fishing has been very poor as there was no access and water dropped.It is expected to open early march and fishing will still be down for a while due to lots of new areas for fish to swim and the decreased amount of fish but will make a good comeback since there is new cover for spawning bass will take time but will be worth it.

Last time it went over was in 98. Yup, I was there. Over the past few years it was unusable it got so low. Only small fishing boats are allowed anyway.
It got overgrown with trees, and there's no budget to cut them down, and it is a nesting area for some endangered species too. Oh well, nature took care of that.
I email the mayor and suggested they grade out the whole lake and make it deeper.......no $$$$$. Of course now the water will be full of rotting tree bits and the trunks will take out props for years to come....ya gotta love the gub'ment. :messedup:

I think the water flow may be breaking the speed limit on Lake Hodges...

When it got low in 2002 we extended the ramp with the City then for the next few years it was way beyond usable. I even broke in my Ultra in that water the last few weeks the ramp was usable. Could be a nice small recreational spot for locals if they would get their act together. Chances of that.......................... zero :hammerhea

Yeah, there is going to be a lot of stuff floating in that reservoir this year, sure glad I'm storing my boat at the river this year so I'm not tempted to put it in down there, I'm about a mile from the Launch ramp and a couple from the Dam...

About three years ago, before the launch ramps were high and dry, I took my 18' flatty out there for a test run. Had a blast - the fisherman were pissed as hell.... :eek:

I was thinking that same thing, not sure that my roost would get over them Dam but that would be a hell of a lot of fun, to bad I'm dragging my barge to the river next weekend.

That part of the lake is a fricken forest now....you'd be lucky to navigate an inner tube around there.
