Suggested Strategy
I can't take advantage, I have a 50 hour week coming up. But perhaps someone can, and report out.
Granger is up to 518 ft., that is 14 ft over conservation pool. Corps finally started dumping water today. They are putting 2000 cfs. through the dam. (as an aside, it is probably great fishing below the dam right now, but don't slip and fall in!)
That 14 ft of water will have driven the hogs OUT of some of their traditional heavy cover. For instance, I know there are some hogs in the San Gabriel unit (east of willis creek park) as I have heard them call when I was fishing. They are all driven out of there now, most of that unit is under water. All the wooded areas in Sore Finger are also deeply flooded, leaving only the open fields.
Ugh, wonder what last years dead bloodweed (aka giant ragweed) stalks will be like after 2 weeks submerged? Not looking forward to that.
Gate 4 wooded areas will also be partially under water, concentrating the hogs in the remaining wooded areas. Likewise gate 6
Gate 7, eh, not so much, still plenty of woods for the critters to hide in.
So, anybody been able to get out since the water came up?
I fear the lake will now start a slow fall, slowly letting the hogs back into their cover.
