On Monday the COE opened 2 spillway gates about 6" to compensate for a generator down for maintenance. This is about 1,800 CFS and I assumed the water coming over the top would likely be warmer than the water coming off the bottom. In my mind, this mean constant higher flow(no off/on cycle) and warmer water meant maybe the spoonbill would move up the river to the dam. 

Last week I picked up some 50lb braid, 10/0 snagging hooks and various weights to snag from the bank downthere. When I showed up there was nobody up at the rocky point so I figured I would start there where it was narrowest and go to work. The water is very clear but swift enough the bottom is distorted. I jerked for about an hour without hooking anything. I didn't see any spoonbill and only seen one other person snagging. 

After that lack of success, I went down to parker bottoms and threw a jerk bait and had 2 short rainbows that settled for the early release. The water here is pretty trashy. I assume its run off from the rains last night. 

Also went to the rip rap on Beaver and threw the A-rig hoping for a striper or white bass and nada.

I'm really hoping this rain pulls the fish upto the Dam. 

 

My only fear is that they will shut down the dam and start holding water.

have been running 2 gates @ 6" for a bit over a week now. 

Didn't know that, maybe trying to keep Beaver at 1120?
