Be careful of the sand bars. Fishing in my opinion is poor to lousy.

above triangle park is sand bar city. there a few, i mean few, smallies and largies there and some bullhead cats. thats about it. flipping along the brushy shorelines was the only place i caught them. not on my list of places to go.

Thanks guys…

My expectations arent high at all, but I figured that I had a bit of time to kill and would throw in the rod just in case.

I will poke around and see if i can shake up a smallie or two. If not, I’ll just go have some bbq’d cow up the road.

the BBQ would be a better bet, if the river isn’t raging that is a much better option for small mouth, the res. is very poor, lived there for 2 years and always fished the river or drove somewhere else…

We have 10,000cfs going through it now, but I would still give it a shot. Even make a few casts below the Dam. Try a lipless crankbait and rip it. I’ve caught a bunch at this time, but only when the flow was at 6000cfs or so.
