I'm chompin' at the BIT to get back up there!!! Your boat GOTTA be way bigger than mine....no way I'm putting-in with that kind of flow.

MGB, my boat is a Tracker 175 TF, and it is possible to fish that much current up there and stay out of the dangerous water. There is a good seam to fish between the water from the turbines and the water that is flowing through the gates. I have over 20 years experience of fishing up there and I won’t endanger myself or anyone that goes with me.

Good looking bunch of fish

Great times !!!!!

Mine's an 18' semi-V and that current (with just 2 gates spilling) was having its WAY with us last time we were up there.

I see where they've stopped spilling at precisely the same time we've stopped production for a few days

looks like a good trip
