Hester check Facebook there is a Ross Barnette Rez group, you’ll get way more info there than here.

Without a doubt the spillway has a nut job here and there when the fishing is good and its tough to find a spot to fish. On the bank or in a boat at times its elbow to elbow. When its like that I don’t waste my time, I go to fish to unwind and enjoy myself.

Calling all Ross Barnette fishermen, I am new to the area and looking for locations to bank fish for catfish. I have heard about and been to the spillway but they are releasing way too much water now to fish it. Please let me know of areas around the Rez and please be specific as I am not very familiar with the area yet. Thanks all.

Understood, sounds like a lot of work but will be well worth it without a doubt. I have a few projects as well but I do take a day or two every now and again to keep my sanity. A day fishing or going to the shooting range does just that. Wish you luck with the project, when you finish it or just decide a fishing trip is in order to decompress, post a note here and may be I can meet ya out there. No such hing as too many fishin buddies!

Thanks, I will have to check out those areas soon since the spillway is moving too fast now. Is it pretty crowded at either one of those areas? How often do you catfish?

Hello Robert I recently moved near Byram from TX. Have fished the Ross Barnette spillway a couple times for catfish. Not much luck other than a few small channels. Still learning the patterns, and never fished a spillway before and have already learned I need different gear for this type of fishing. Do you fish the spillway, would really like to pick your brain if so.
