Glendo Report

[jopes]

-Water is low.
-Water is getting lower with irrigation needed in Nebraska.
-We are being pounded with heat, yesterday was day 6 of 100+ degrees
-If memory serves me right F&G estimate 35% of the walleye population is harvested every year.

Every low snowpack year, I read, hear and see comments from people who utilize Glendo directed at the use of irrigation water in Nebraska. It's typical to resent the fact that the reservoir is getting depleted but the sentiment is misdirected at best. There is a good deal of irrigation water diverted from the system in WYOMING and Nebraska. Those irrigators built the system. They grow food. Food that we eat. Griping about irrigation water is akin to the environmentalist griping about oil production (you know, the guy with 3 cars and a 5000 sq ft house).

In other words, we have to have food to eat. it takes water to grow it. B*tching about farming in any state, griping about irrigation water, is asinine.

I never complained about the irrigation needing the water. I was just stating conditions of Glendo.

On a side note, I did hear one of the reasons Glendo's walleyes are so successful is due to the high fluctuation of water levels.

Bouncing in 12-15 FOW around the rocky shore line produced two limits of keepers in 2.5 hr's. We had water temps of 72-75 on surface. We threw back all fish except for one because my wife is pregnant and woried about mercury, I wanted fish for supper. But we measured and loged our results to share. Most fish in the 16-17 range but healthy and fat, no big ones.

A little slower than yesterday but still good fishing. Bouncing with worms and slow death hooks and green beads worked for me. 12-20 FOW all day and slower until evening bite started, no big one for us but taklked to a guy whom lost a good one pul
ling cranks a 2 mph.

So how was it Sunday? I am looking at going somewhere for the weekend and trying to decide if I want to go to Blue Mesa and play bumper boats for the koke bite, or fight the heat and wind at Glendo for some walleyes.

Choices, choices...so many fish to catch and so little time!
