Hello TFFers,
Went up to the dam this morning with a friend and caught some skipjack herring and two crappie. I was really surprised by the crappie. I finally got the guts to drag the canoe in between the rock island and the spillway. Didn't get yelled at and they didn't open the blast gates on me. I tried many different patterns and the most successful was Realteachers skipjack fly. I did put my crayfish pattern on casted into the spillway and got one huge strike but no hook set. I didn't have sinking line but I think it would have helped. There were carp porpoising all over the place in front of the spillway but they weren't buying what I had. A gate is letting water shoot in front of the turbines right at the spot where Krebs was. I looks wet and almost unfishable but I would try it.
Some guy was on the rock island with a lantern before the sun came up. He was after catfish and he kept pulling up monster carp and killing them with a machete! It smells really bad on that island. There must be 10 huge carp dead on the rocks.
