I put my boat down river, where the sipsey meets the mulberry, and almost made it up to the pumping station. We thought we might find some good fish in a deep hole down river. I would not recommend that. Nothing bad happened, just didnt catch any fish. Water temp didnt vary more than a couple degrees from the bridge down to the mulberry. Only place where it changed any was where a couple of creeks ran in, it would drop a couple degrees.

No. I was out looking at a job one day and drove past the boat launch where the sipsey and mulberry meet. We went back in a few days, put in and went up the sipsey. Only time ive ever had a boat in that water. We really didnt take alot of time to fish. We had this idea in our heads that there would be some deep holes where some big holdover resident fish would be. We never really found what we were looking for. Trout being as skiddish as they are, we were probably doing mire harm than good with the boat.

I'm happy for the guys that want to go catch fish and let them go. There are times (very few) that I do the same when I just need to get away and want to fly fish. However, they are farmed, stocked fish. Who cares if you take them home. There will be another bucket of em' dumped in a few weeks.

Everytime I'm there someone will start talking to me about how they know some of these big fish are breeding in there...they just know it! How else can you explain all these smaller fish????
(They list the size fish they stock each month)


All of this to say. It's a super fun resource to have, people take themselves to seriously. Who even needs options on what to do with the fish they catch grin



Saw the riled up posting about it on FB. They were hotter than wet hens.

I also saw on there a guy who said smallmouth bass wouldn't and couldn't live in the Sipsey water below Smith Dam because it was too cold. I guess all the smallmouth bass that live in the Great Lakes and Canada are superfreaks. But they couldn't handle the cold waters below the dam.


FB is fun to learn things. LOL

They’ve been pulling a lot of water lately. Hope to get up there one morning this week.

I may be letting the cat out of the bag here but when I use to hunt in springville I would see trout in big canoe creek especially this time of year. I believe they where brown trout.

Took the kids and wife morning of 10/2. Bite was slow all morning downstream. Must of been slow up stream as well, as we went up to the pump station after we were done and there were only 2 vehicles left, with one of them just getting out and starting the trek down to the water.
Got 1 bite and 1 decent fish and the guys next to us got 3 bites and 2 fish.
Saw a paddle guide boat and a kayak come upstream.
We plan to go back so the whole crew can get a rainbow.
