Browder's

[Dead Wait]

A question for you Livingston guy's. I have not been to Browders in years. Thinking about going Saturday morning. We are taking the boat so, I was wondering if the boat ramp is in any better shape now, than it was 15 years ago. Can we access the water easily? I saw a truck and boat in there once before. I sure don't want to be that guy.

Anybody fish the river behing the dam. I'm just looking for an easy place to put in and get out. No secret spots required.

Sent you a message, the ramps are better, the East side is usually the best, the West side can be sanded in on one side and both ramps on that side are steep.

yup east side better for the newbies .. like me
i usually fish the slack waters on the west side.
ss, do yo know if livingston is releasing?
i see 2000cfs on the livingston release rate for yesterday .. does that mean 2 gates?
thanks

The link I use does not tell you how many gates, but it is a good one.

At 2,220 cfs I bet launching is no problem, as far as fishing, the flow has to stabilize for about a day after an increase for it to good. Iy looks like it is not on a steep rise and hopefully they will hold it staedy for a couple days, fishing should be good.

Thank's SS. I read your PM first and asked all the question's. Sorry. Anyway, i'm looking forward to our trip this weekend. We will be the guy's riding around looking like we don't know what we are doing. :D

we were there last monday and there were two gates open and it was very shallow. you have to keep your boat in the cut or channel. drive across the bridge before launching so you can get an idea of where you can drive the boat. Good Luck

Thank's Jason. Yeah, I spoke with Hubert last night and he said that there were only two gates open as of now. That's a big river, there should be plenty room to fish.
