well thats where I was coming from but Like they said It is no secrete anymore ........ just about 10 or 15 yrs ago ....

Well good while it lasted. Will be tough to find a non-crowded spot up there now and the wait at the boat ramp will be lonnnnngggggg

[BOWHUNTER45]

yeah I can remember laughing at people telling me they cought rainbows 3 or 4 pounds that were stocked in some lake and I would think to myself MAN IF THEY ONLY KNEW ABOUT RUFUS !!!! its all about making memories and I am glad I got to see it !!!

Here are my biggest from there. Been going there the last couple years. Man its fun...

One of those fish was 8lb 9oz, the other was 8lb 6oz. A buddy caught one that we weighed at 10lb 5oz. I love it at Rufus.

They just announced an emergency closure of Rufus Woods, no fish left So might as well stay home and forget about it

[MtnMuley]

I just heard the same thing.

[wastickslinger]

Yep closed water till they ge the mercury level thing figured out. Did they ever say what was going on? I know several have been hospitalized just from touching the fish.  Scary deal!!!!

must be the bigfoot as he ran out of elk....   No fish left here... no bulls in the Blues..... man time to hunt in Oklahoma... only place left worth it...

[backyard bucks]

well kinda hard to keep it quiet when the papers print that the pens (broke) and thousands of fish are swimming free.. let the craze go for awhile and everyone have a hay day.. it will slow down again like it did for awhile and it will be less crowded and back to somewhat normal 
but i think it is great that people are getting out and having success right now.

Right now there are 300,000 fish between 5 lbs & 12 lbs that were released as a write off due to die off in another pen. (something about water columns, temps & gases)
 
One Okanogan guide says it will be hot for at least a year and is already booking cast & blast trips for this fall.

[shedcrazy]

Its everyone from the westside announcing how hot it is, the locals know how the fishing is but we dont feel the need to announce it to the world. I wish that there was something over there that we all hoarded over the pass to go pillage

[billythekidrock]

An Okanogan guide from the Westside? 
 
I am sure it is good for business, otherwise the Eastside guide wouldn't be promoting it on a radio show.

[shedcrazy]

Not one guide man, look at most of these posts. No one is a guide and all from westside! Just saying, if we all came over there to hunt and fish it would be different
