The spillway under the dam is always a good bet for hooking up on fish. Anything is possible here as a variety of species hide out in this section of deep water constantly releasing from Lake Harsha.
After hiking down, across and back to the best spot, my first cast produced a white bass. It flashed white in the water under the hot sun as I reeled it in past several spotted gar who didn’t seem to enjoy the interruption. Quick to follow was a bluegill and then a young largemouth. I moved up shore as a group of kids came in to swim but still managed to pull out 4 sauger that were hiding in the shadow of a large tree.
Caught a bit of sunburn for the first time this year. Next trip, I’m brining the bucket hat and sun shirt. The season is finally heating up.
