Ive never seen much of anything below the dam except trout. Maybe a few bream ans an occasional spot. I did see a bunch of guys come in one day when the water come on and wore out skipjacks. I figured the water being as clear and cold as it is, it justdidnt hold many fish. Do you know if he was catching them when the water was on?

My dad and I fish there a lot, in the years we've fished it, other than trout we've only caught 1 freshwater drum and 2 skipjack, both were caught when they were generating.

I’ve been told you can catch crappie up close to the dam off that high wall.

I stood along the wall and watched a school of large stripers cruising back and forth but couldn't get any of them to bite anything I had. I've only caught Rainbows there.

You have to force feed those with a really big treble hook!
