What is the water temp? Down here they bite in cold water but when it hits 60 man it is a LOT better. Ron

Stopped by there last year around may. It was pretty much a slow moving river. Is that pretty normal or because it was a big water year? Is it that low now?

I think that was cuz of work on the dam? Maybe not. No its a res now just not all full. Its up to the rock piles if u remember them.

You were at the ramp where the picnic area and playground are just before the big curve in the road?

Do you think the cats that are on the Bear farther down stream are from Alexander?

Glad im not the only one catching the dinks from there. I did however find some bigger ones on the river a ways upstream from Alexander. Using cut bait. the.bigger cats im finding are on the river. And the water temp is in the high 40 low 50 still its pretty cold.

Never fished much above that bridge below the hospital... Last yr though i seen some toons come down that was floating it and they had some nice cats.. Guess thats where i need to try and play around for those buggers...

I was trying for some cats further upstream a few times last week with no luck at all. Still had fun catching carp, but I'm trying to get that elusive first cat ever. Any pointers?

Anything works for bait. Worms, liver, cut bait. You just find what you like to use and run with it. Worms you'll be fighting carp and others as well. Liver i only usually catch cats with but its messy.... Ive been doing good right at sun down and in the first hours of dark... I just pull up to a spot and if nothing in half hour i move some.. If you need a little more ideas pm me and ill give you some good spots...
