Pool 2 ramps??

Anyone know if the 494 ramp on pool 2 is open. I’m heading to the river Saturday looking to fish pool 2 if it’s possible.

From yesterday.

I’m going to swing by there for a look over lunch today. One way or another, I’m pretty sure the ramp will be open Saturday!

It shouldn’t take much J , be safe !

A little windy and rain might open that up. I bet hidden falls is good to go to. Maybe even lilydale. I’ll drive by those two on the way home today.

Ramp is open. Little surprised to see a trailer in the parking lot. Hope he has good rain gear!

Awesome that’s what I wanted to hear. Not a fan of pool 4 crowds this time of the year on the weekend.

Slightly off topic, but has pool 2 always been Catch and Release only? I just started fishing it last year and thought that was pretty cool.

Since about 1992.

Edit: 1994 was the year.

Here is an post from a while back. Seems like yesterday….

Kind of weird to see one of dad’s posts in that link. My boys and I hope to make it down there a bunch this summer.

Thanks Jon, maybe I will see you tomorrow?

Did anyone drive by lilydale ramp today?

I didn’t.

So how are the ramps and how is the bite?

494 ramp is great very tough bite plenty of fish but not very active!

Plenty of people out today. Bite was slow for us to.

I went down to the 494 ramps with waders on sunday. saw quite a few boats out. casted out crankbaits and plastics with nothing. walked up and down the rip rap shoreline a ways. where are the walters hanging out with water temps this low?

Marked several in the main channel in 12-18ft just not active til low light.

you get a water temp reading by chance?

Yeah 34 in the am up to 35 by mid afternoon.

We had 37 on saturday. 35 on Sunday.

Caught a lot of fish yesterday once the sun went down,none over 16″ except for a couple of finned sewer pipes.

Anyone been by lilydale this week? Wondering if its open yet. Thank you.

Launched there Wednesday.There was still a bit of ice at the end of the ramp but wasn’t an issue for my small rig.

Im sure things have really progressed over the last week but any new info regarding ramps and water flow? this sunday and monday 3/6 and 3/7 temps are looking promissing to try out the new 15 4 stroke!

Think any ramp you want to try should be good to go. Drive it like you stole it.

you bet! thanks
