With nearly every lake using the emergency spillways, river fishing ought to be pretty good, since a lot of fish will be going downstream. Way back when, the OKC water board got a new manager. He decided to open the emergency gates at Overholser, in order to clean the sand out of the lake (a totally ridiculous idea, with no chance of being effective). It DID let most of the big fish out of Overholser, and made my friend very, very happy. That year, he noodled more big cats out of the river than he had in the previous fifteen years put together.
