Belton Fishing Report
- Jun 5, 2024
- SLOW. Water lightly stained; 78 degrees; 16.02 feet above pool. All public boat ramps are currently shut down due to flooding. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers typically only reopens the boat ramps once the water recedes off the asphalt parking lot and turnaround areas back onto the concrete boat ramps. Anticipate this to occur once the flood level reaches about 11.5 feet above full pool. After the asphalt is free of flood water, USACE typically waits several additional days to let the road base dry out. USACE is releasing about 5400 CFS resulting in a 3-4 inch drop per day. Walk-in access to bank fish or for kayak fishing is still permitted even in parks with gates locked as long as posted signage does not stipulate otherwise. Report by Bob Maindelle, Holding the Line Guide Service.
Zebra Mussel Alert To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the law requires draining of water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Get details.
