I am a towboat pilot & I second that!

I went Friday and got skunked. Water temp 44 and water level 23' below the dam. Tried eveything I had with minnows. Other boats (4) I talked to hadn't caught any either. Not sure if the falling water had something to do with it or not. Water color wass stained-green. If anybody went this weekend please post your success or failure.
P.S. ramp had mud but it was soupy enough to not cause a problem.
