They tend to open 2 or more generators prior to predicted rain, however, it's spotty. For the last 2 weeks there doesn't seem to be more than 2 days in a row where they are pulling. My 2 oz sinker goes straight to the bottom and stays there. When conditions are prime it seems my line is always trying to escape heading toward the dam. I've noticed that I do best when the wind is out of the Southwest 5-10 and they are discharging 20,000 cfs or more for several days in a row, at least downstream where I live. Been considering looking around Belotes Bar to see if there's any water moving swiftly across those rocks. It should be just a matter of time before they show up in that area.
