Was at Stockton last couple of days and caught afew large Crappie but when it got to hot fish we went up to the west overlook area of the spillway for look see.. Does anyone know what what species those thousnads of very humongous fish are below the darn in the spillway ?? They are very impressive and numbered in the thousands in the clear water it was quite a sight...

I would imagine carp. I have caught a few down there several years ago. I have also seen a few cats caught there but never in any numbers. Just guessing though.

I don't know if it is restricted access or not BUT when they blow the horn announcing they are about to release water you better move quick. It comes up verrrry fast and you would have little time to get out of the way.
