Boaters should use caution to avoid injury or damage to their vessels. Artificial lures including plastic worms and surface lures are good producers for bass. Excellent bank fishing is offered in the tailrace below the dam. Striped bass congregate in the tailrace during late spring and early summer. Catfish also appear in schools below the dam during March, April and May.
Live shiners are good for bass and catfish.
Bluegill, shellcracker and speckled perch are good in the main pool. Some anglers prefer to use natural baits such as worms, shelled mussels, crickets and grass shrimp fished a few inches beneath a cork. Fly fishing is also popular. All rights reserved.
