eeeeeeeeeeeeee you could try to catch some Monster Carp in there..........they are now trapped below the old dam, they can't get back up river I don't think??? but the 30+ I saw were HUGE!!!
It's not closed to the public...yet.........unless cars start parking on peoples property, then I'm sure they Will stop parking and entering then.

Windsor Residence and Police have Short fuses

But you can go in from Northwest park then.

Rainbow Res is no More, 5' of water left where there was 30' of water.
The place is a total ruins, and when it is refilled, all there will be left is floating dead fish!!!!!!!!!!!

Any idea how much water is down at the floating boating barrier?

I don't know Rainbow to well, but I would imagine there's 10+ feet at the dam?
Any of the remaing large fish should be eating pretty well now though.

The fishing was just coming back, that is freakin ridiculous! Can't they just leave the dam alone or is it in real bad shape?

The Ladder is not in operation, thats what they are repairing, in danger of failing completly, so any fish going threw is made into chum, there is 8' of water left by the Main dam (according to the dam worker)and dropping fast.
I got kicked out over there, I didn't even get my camera out
when I was approached.
Tons of Huge crap are trapped down by the dam.

I also walked in from route 189 all the way to the duck blind, but I left my camera on the car seat Very shallow may only a couple of spots had 2' of water, the rest maybe 3" to 12".
The red house with the stone wall you can see the bottom and the rocks.

I walked all the way down to the old dam, a little hairy in some places.
There no lures anywhere, all the trees have been picked clean from what I see.
