Breaks and the water level

goforbroke · Apr 24, 2011

Hunted in the breaks, unit 410, 3 years ago. we hunted in the willows, the gps showed we were in the lake, but there was no lake, only a river and lots of willows. We drew tags and are headed back up this year, but looking at the water level, things may be different.
Are most of the willows now under water?

Thanks

LAST EDITED ON Apr-24-11 AT 10:56PM (MST)[p]Res will be full,water levels are MUCH higher than you saw,if you draw the tag dont plan on hunting the brush.

Bring your fishing pole though cause the fish numbers have already started to rebound. Screw elk hunting.

The water is 40 feet higher than when you last saw the lake. Those willows are now walleye habitat. Plan on significant changes the last time you hunted there.

This was Unit 410 in September, 2011. And since then we have near record snow fall that will raise will keep it this high, or higher, in 2011.

410 is shot out on public and Block management, was up there last year way too many hunters. Even a guy who hunts it every year and gets a big one struck out last year.
