BASS
If you can stand theswift current below the Dam you should be able to pick up a few basson live bait. Just drift split shotswith live minnows along rocky banks and you will pick up a fewbass and some real nice smallmouth. The smallmouth are hard to counton day to day but you can still catch a few big ones if you stick with it.

Stripers
Every once in a whilewe will come across a striper or two around the dam this time of year. Trollingbig baits such as Strike Kings 6XD's or drifting live bait can sometimesproduce a few fish.

Catfish
Catfish are stillbiting good in some areas, I like to use nightcrawlers and red worms. We evencatch a few while sauger fishing with minnows. We have been catching a few inthe 15-20' range and some have come out of deeper water.

Sauger
Sauger fishing isstill in its beginning stages and will get better and better until next springand sometimes it actually improves during the spring. Right now you will havegood and bad days. I expect it to pick up a lot throughout the next few weeks.
