Can't speak as an expert, but the ranger said that the dam has been good for saugeye and crappie. Some of the local guys have said they get very good crappie after it warms up some by fishing the trees. The last few times out, we have caught a lot of smaller fish just off the rocks. And no, they are not spawning. But the shad are right on the rocks, and the crappie and mud hens are eating them like crazy.
Hope that helps some, colossal.
