Fall Fishing below the dam (spillway) can really be a challenge. I’m using a blade bait today as well as a spoon looking for any type of fish. I finally get my hooks in something and start to get excited but to my surprise the fish I catch is a small Buffalo fish. I think I have another fish after a quick release, only to catch someone else’s fishing lure. Sometimes you just don’t catch great fish one after the other.
Sometimes fishing in fall can be a real grind, even spillway fishing down below the dam. #notsponsored Check it out in the video below.
