I fish below Pickwick often and even with all the generators running it is no problem even fishing up in the boils themselves. If they have even one floodgate open however I will not usually even try to approach the dam and fish further downstream instead. My recommendation to you is if you are this unfamiliar with dam fishing is to find someone experienced and go with them a few times first to learn the do's and don't. It is perfectly safe only if you know what you are doing. Sudden discharges occur regularly from both the locks and generators and you have to be aware of what is about to happen to water levels and currents when they hopefully sound the alarms beforehand. And always, always, always wear a life jacket when fishing near the dam!!!!
