Reservoir Report
7-09-2005
This was our second tournament of the 2005 regular bass season. We
had a record turnout for the New York NorthWest District. 32 Anglers
fished this tournament…Looks like the good word is finally getting
out!! We arrived at the ramp at 3:50 am to a torrential downpour.
We were greeted by many of the anglers sleeping at the ramp. Although
the weather man had predicted for clearing skies …he was wrong
once again!….Do you ever stop and think how a person can keep
his job when they are incorrect in their predictions so often?? (just
a thought) The rain stopped for a short periods of time during the
day…returning sometimes heavy and sometimes light. To say the
least all the fishermen and their equipment were soaked.
The water temperature was in the low to mid 70’s depending on
the areas of the reservoir that you fished. According to the dam schedule
they were going to start releasing water Friday midnite tripling the
rate of flow, which means we could almost see the water level fall.
The water clarity was clear as it is in most of the upstate NY lakes.
