Thread: Water Levels Near Garth Slough, Susie Hole, Etc

Well, this morning was an exercise in futility lol. I first went to Susie Hole, but the water is so low you can’t put in anywhere without walking through 50 yards of mud. I tried putting into the little ramp there in Garth Slough and paddling down to the west entrance, but the water is so low there that my kayak kept getting stuck so I had to get out and drag the kayak back in calf deep mud. I then went down to Lily Pond, put in at the little spot on the SW end, the water there is so shallow you run aground where it necks down before you enter Lily Pond.

I’ve got the afternoon to fish as well but I’ve about had all the kayaking I want for one day. I may hit up a couple of bank spots.

I'm thinking of trying Susie Hole in the morning for a few hours if you want to try a return trip!

Ditch I’d love to but I’m not able to go in the morning, I really appreciate the offer and maybe we can do it another time. Do you put in where I was describing or a different place?

I haven't fished there in a couple years. In the past I've put in at the boat ramp and paddled through Garth Slough into Susie or drag through the woods to drop directly into Susie Hole. The narrow ditch will be all mud this time of year, but the east bank is gravel or hard clay (one of the reasons Crappie move into the area to spawn).
