There was a post a few months ago that it was closed because of the litter left by the fishermen.

Call the Game Warden! That ticks me off.

By the way, there is no gate. The spillway is just that; there is water flowing over the dam wall whenever the lake is above 437.5 feet above sea-level. check out the latest level here:

Tank,
I thought they have gate, and if they close the gate then you can't park there. And yes Bluewave its very sad and i have witnessed them trashed the place and took illegal fish also.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought someone was referring to a gate that controlled the water release through the dam, not an access gate to park and fish... :p

I was there saturday. There is a sign threatning to close it if littering continues. Fished downstream by the rocks. Fish splashing and jumping. 1 guy caught 1 sandbass and 1 buffalo. I did not get a bite.
