Figured I'd give the river a shot before the weather turns, so I headed out for a few hours mid-day, yesterday. Only fished from shore but river is at a very wadeable level right now. Tried both sides of dam,and was rewarded with a chunky smallmouth from each. Not big (13",15") but good fighters! Both fish caught on twister tails. (3" white, 2" orange/chart.) Also caught a fat crappie in millrace on last cast of day.
Was hoping for a walleye or two, but all in all, a fun few hours of fishing!
