You're killing me!
Those are some great looking fish, are they opening the sluice gate wide open during generation at this point?

We caught the biggest right after it went off. Down stream a ways.
Water was 4 ft deep when caught. An hour later, it was 8 inches deep.

Season is winding down but still fish to be caught.

I was in the riverhawk with my dad on Saturday. Caught some decent fish, and I had a giant Brown on for a little on a slab magnet. After fishing a while we decided to see how skinny we could get the riverhawk. we went on down past lancaster, and then headed back up, very Beautiful on the river right now!! Lot's of cool colors in the trees. Anyone know what they are doing to the road past longbranch?

Did you notice if the sluice was blasting wide open during generation or just 250-500 cfs?

Wide open. Very choppy.
No safe way to fish.

Might go this weekend...... can't stay away.

I need a house over there.

X2! Looked nasty up there. Watched it for about 10 minutes, saw some big browns bust the surface a couple of times, but definitely not worth the risk.
