Don't mind the walleyes and whites, but we don't need any trout eating stripers.  From what I have heard, they have done quite a job on the trout in NFOW above the lake.

I don't think they would last as long below the dam..  Locals will hammer them pretty good don't you think?

In 2000, Jeff Fletcher caught a 64 pound striper below Beaver. They get big eating trout.

Probably not cold enough yet to make trout happy.  It has been a warm fall.

Looks like they are only releasing around 850cfs over the top and around 4-5k through the generators, so it shouldn't pose a problem.
