Cordell Hull tailrace & Wolf Creek tail race
« on: July 08, 2007, 06:26:01 AM »
Fished below Cordell Hull Friday and caught 16 striper with buck tal jigs (biggest was 10 LB.). We also picked up several small sauger on crankbaits; also picked up a 25 LB carp that hit a lure. On Thursday we fished below Wolf Creek dam to about 3 miles down and caught a 5 LB. brown, 2 browns around 17 inchs and an 18 inch rainbow plus 8 or 9 rainbow below 15 inches. We also picked up 7 or 8 small striper. Later in the day we tryed walleye and caught about 7 or 8 (all below 15 inches). The bulk of the trout came off small pin minnows (jerk bait); the walleyes came from worm rigs and shad rap type baits. Had my 11 year old son, another dad and his 10 year old son and we all had a ball.

It was the first time I've fished below Cordell Hull and the water seemed fine; we put in at the bridge just below the Caney conflunce and ran up to the dam with plenty of water all the way, teens and twenties most of the way. As for the river below Wolf Creek, it's low. The ramp's out of the water and it's shallow where you put in. Once in and clear of the ramp we found several holes that held 10'+ water. We could only go about 3 or 4 miles down river before the water became to low to contiune.
