Fishing Report Zinc Dam

Recommended Posts

Fished below zinc dam today and did fairly good. Had about 30-40 fish, but nothing really big. Did see one guy bring in about a 5-6 pound striper/hybrid, but that was about it. Had a lot of fun and a lot of wind. There was about ten guys down at the deep run below the power company and I only fished there for about 20 minutes, but that is where I seen the nicer fish landed.

The carp you hook up with down there really make you think you have something nice, but they are still fun to fight. I had about 7-10 over 5 pounds with one big one that snapped me off. At least I hope it was a carp. :) I also had one sauger about 19 inches that put up a really good fight. When the water is off this is a really great place for plenty of winter action. Also good for a work-out for both your casting and stripping arm as the season starts to get here. Good Luck

jay bird,

I was down there for a couple of hours. It looked like opening day at Roaring River down there below PSO! I started out in the run next to PSO, caught a few nice hybrids there and then went up below the dam. Caught some more hybrids and whites, 1 small striper, 1 sucker, and the biggest shad that I have ever seen. I got tired of the wind and went in early.

I figured that there would be alot people down there after last weekend. I had to stay home and finish the house for the new baby, that will be here next week. My wife is very happy that the house is done. I hope that everyone had a good time fishing and that they caught some big fish. The last time that I went down there I used my 8wt. When the big fish come up I plan on taking my 10wt.
