Looking for Tips - Spillway near Stephensville

I am putting in the time learning to fish Sac A Lait. Have been fishing Bayou Black once a week, but want to give the spillway a try. Looking for tips to get us started. Thinking about trying the area around Adam's Landing (looks like it is closed for good). May launch at Doiron's or Belle River.

1. Bayous vs Pipeline Canals
2. Best water heights this time of year
3. Best depths and water conditions this time of year
4. Super clear water or slightly stained or what
5. Any other help appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny
