Just out of curiosity, why do those big stripers only hang around the dam during generation?

Usually what drives them is food. Think of if as a conveyor belt. Faster it runs the more it can bring to you. More water brings more food for the little fish that get eaten by the bigger fish and so on. It also positions the prey fish as they have to seek current breaks making them easier targets than if they could swim freely. All fish move up to feed at some point not just the stripers.
In the summertime they also run to the Dam for reasons above but more importantly then the waters DO level goes up when new water mixes.
