I've seen people hook fish in the tunnel through the gate, but have never seen a fish landed. I often hear splashes in there as well. What fish is back there? Large bass? Or is it urban legend?

Jimmy Hoffa ?

Alot of big fish. I have caught some bass in there that were around 3-4#s and couldnt get there heads through the bars. I have also caught eyes ranging from 18-26". I heard there are some monster pike in there too. The best way to fish that discharge is to get your waders on walk up to the discharge with an ice fishing pole baited with a large roach. Stick the ice fishing rod and your arm as far into the discharge as possible then cast as far into the darkness of teh discharge as possible and let if drift back to you. Believe me it works but the other anglers who fish around the WWD were not to happy.

John from Lee's told me once that the Water Reclamation Division had a camera inside the tunnel to check the tunnel for any damage. They said that large fish were swimming in the tunnel and they didn't think they could get thru the grates to escape. Sounds good to me.

I heard that from John also. Hey I may have to go to bass pro and buy one of those rocket fishers or what ever they call it that shoots the lure straight out the end about 30' to 35' and give it a shot in the tunnel. I have heard over the years from a lot of people that there are some big fish in the tunnel.
