1/6/2010 10:09:00 PMhey! Quadfather... the tip from the local guy who fishes it like a nun going to church.... is current.. There needs to be water moving out of the dams. And he told me when I arrived sunday and made the drive, but didnt start fishing until monday. He says the dams are not needed to service the big cities. So the water is a couple feet higher and practically no current. He says he cant buy a bite when these weekend conditions. Im sure there are thoughs that argue.. Who cares.. It will be a long time before I'll go back there.. It cost a few bucks to make a trip like that.. The boat travel is 50 miles per day. It was a great experience. The local boys say....... fish the weekday when there s lots of current..

1/7/2010 4:41:00 PMI too have caught fish in summer but they are usually smaller and sluggish. They taste okay smoked in summer but that's about it. I have a lot of areas to fish in summer so do not hit Rufus as much. Winter we get a lot more limited and so Rufus is a good local lake. Plus I usually fish with a good friend and that's all that matters anyhow right.
