Danger
I echo the respect the dam comments. Respect and fear. Two boats on Monday nearly were swept into the spillway door outflows by anchoring near the break line and not realizing the flow is actually going towards the doors. One boat had a child in it. Only the child had a lifejacket on. I know that most of the once a year dammers don't read this page and think that water only flows downstream but it does not. Doors and generators create tornados of water. Always check the flow before you start fishing. Generators and doors, depending upon how many of each create their own treachery. Be careful. Never anchor near the spillway doors. Go home dry.
