It would be awesome to fish below the dam again. But even with the rules outlined by the supreme court, I don't see a way to do it.The spillway has that fence around it with no trespassing signs. You would have to climb the fence and rappel down to stay within the river channel. And a mile downstream there is a one or two foot waterfall, so access from below would be difficult. I think the good old days of fishing that big pool are gone forever. And yes, I think the big Pike Fisher caught was the same year I was down there. The year after Glen (pikeman) caught his big pike in the lake if I remember right.
Babe Winkleman did a show one time using big banjo minnows up in Canada. He caught tons of huge Pike and had some underwater footage that was real cool. I met a guy up at Strawberry one time that was using the medium size Banjos and catching some larger than average cutts. They do work at times, and this may be one of those times.
