I made it up and tried the river below the dam. The day I went it was wet and the road was slimed and slick in a few spots, but doable. Fishing was good from the campground and downstream. Right below the dam sucked unfortunately.....no fish were harmed there! I thought it would be awesome, but I think the water coming out is just too cold right now. The water felt barely warmer than a popsicle! In the pool beside the campground and in a few holes down stream I got a few smallies and several trout. The trout were all rainbows and between 11-15 inches. All caught on a 1/8 ounce jig head and a 2.5" black shad gulp minnow. Give it another 3-4 weeks and it will turn on I'm thinking.
