Thread: Heyburn

How did the high water affect Heyburn Dino? Never been there so I can't picture it at all tho I have a friend who says the banks are mossed in pretty bad. Is he just looking to discourage me from going there? Lol.

I've had no luck out there since the flood. the water is so muddy cheap electronics can't even "see" through it. Better electronics (4000 watt range) can locate structure and show fish all over it but I can't get 'em to bite anything.

Thanks for your quick response- sorry the bite is off but glad the fish are still there at least. Heard that the water is like peanut butter right now and you confirmed that.

Try switching from watts to volts. I hear tell that volts work better

Fished Heyburn for the first time today so we spent a lot of time looking for brush and then wading thru the dinks to find a few good fish. Ended up with 18 over 10" and one 13" to put in the pond. Maybe 2" visibility which explains the albino crappie. Water was so muddy that I could just barely see the fish in my white live wells. But they thumped it as hard as any I've ever caught and some of em fought like sand bass, making hard runs away from the boat. Lots of humps, really shallow water and floating logs so we took it slow and caught all of our fish in 9-13 fow tho we fished up to 20'.

Nice job C2!

Caught 98 today with Dennis fishing from 9:30-6:00. 35 keepers including 2 14" fish. Pretty windy- threw out a couple anchors for the first time in over 2 years. I am truly converted to no anchors as I hated being tied to one spot tho it did make lunch nicer when we broke out the tri tip sandwiches!

that's twice you been in my area with a holler? how dare thee. just kidding, glad ya'll found some fish. I ain't been out there in a couple months. My fishing time has been cut down so much lately that I've been fishing Sahoma cause it's 7 minutes from my door to the ramp.
