our highlight of the day was rescuing this snapper that was trapped in the swirl in the water discharge coffer . he was almost limp when i was able to grab him and set him up on shore untill he was able to take off on his own .

from his scarred shell he musta been either sucked from the lake above the dam or had been tossed along the rocks below the dam for quite a while . as we did not catch him for anything but his rescue we aren't going to put him in the 16 species contest .
the spring rains really transformed the bottom of this area , there were more snaggs here than i have experianced over at the footesite . fall fishing will be more of a challenge this year .
