Throw on a backpack, grab your rod and hike it upstream. Plenty of places to park down stream.

Very tempting. The dam has started to discharge water.

Saw about 20 cars parked outside of Dam..and another 10 parked on side road under rail road track. Hey, I guess it’s worth the risk of getting citied.

I would be more worried about catching COVID-19 than about getting any citation. The area below the dam is closed for a reason - to keep people separated. I've seen it shoulder to shoulder at times..

I was out driving around yesterday morning, the gate was opened and people were fishing below the dam again.
They weren't catching very much, the platform was closed off so you can only fish off the rocks.

Went to the Lavon spillway on Tuesday around 4-5 just to observe. Lots of undersized fish being caught and retained. Lots of trash (like *bags* of trash) just being left along the shore, people completely ignoring the "no trespassing" signs and crossing over the dam. Complete [censored] show. Out of the 100 anglers I observed there was literally two who knew what the hell they were doing. Lots of parents letting their toddlers run across the steep and rocky shore with violet and rapid water movement below. No spacing between anglers along the shore. I say close it down completely or manage it responsibly.
