does anyone know if the white bass are biting below the dam yet? and is the fishing any good with 12 gates open?

I was by there last Thursday. There were 4 gates open and no one there. I haven't fished it, but I think it is a little too early yet.

Heading there today. Will post when I get back. BTW all gates are open and flow is at 13000.

Well, there is nothing biting at the dam. Tried shad, shrimp and plastics and nothing. Talk to some others out there and they had the same report. Going to give it a month or so and see if anything changes.

How much is the permit to fish there. I know you have to get it from Browders.

Does anyone know how big this dam is?

Last time I was there it was $8 to get in and launch...more for each extra person in the vehicle.

12 gates open you want to be careful out there. It is a very unforgiving environment. When the flow gets this high often there will be a standing wave that can be pretty uncomfortable.


IMO its better to wait until the flows get down to 10,000 and below.

heading to the dam in the morning there are 10 gates open right now the white bass are biting excellant in the lake hopefully they are just as good below dam i will post my report as soon as i get home!

I think its down to 7 gates now, looking good. I'm going to try for crappie next week if the water goes down a little bit more

Anyone having any luck lately?
