I consider helping other people catch fish funner then me catching fish. Of course, I prefer to do both!It's always funny to watch a fellow angler's face when I offer them a lure and refuse to take money for it. That just goes to show how self-centered fishermen have become. To bad.

Not sure how much help this will be as I have only fished down below the dam once or twice if I remember right and it has been a while at that. But if you are standing in the parking lot facing the ramp, take off down through the woods to the right and there is a little slackwater area down there that might be the ticket to catching a walleye.
I would use a chartreuse or yellow curly tail tipped with a minnow or a chunk of nightcrawler and cast up stream and bump it back to me. Or chunk a rapala (the deep diving jobs not the pencil (original) style ones) and let it tick the rip rap on the bottom.
Also if you do the Tebbs bend loop thingy there is an access road that will get you down to the river and near a big deep slack water area that might hold fish.
Good luck.
Had the boys at Elkhorn Creek last Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, a young man walked up to us as we were catching and releasing Ky's every other cast. We were using medium "minners" under a float. He watched for a few minutes then stated he did not have the tackle to fish the way we were fishin. I proceeded to stand up and dive in the bag and gave him a couple hooks, sinkers, float, and some "minners". He caught several Ky's in just a few minutes. Made my day to see that young man catch a few.
It wouldn't be advisable to walk down through the woods from the dam....anybody from around here knows what im talking about
There are a set of public restrooms up near the spillway outfall that were/are a hang out for homo-sexuals. Not unlike many other parks and public restrooms.
I havn't been there to fish since I was going to school at Lindsey Wilson in 03-04. I have never seen anything or anybody down there that I would say was suspicious. The restrooms are not near where I was talking about walking downstream through the woods at. Maybe it has gotten really bad down there I don't know. I only fished down there a handful of times while going to school.
I got a buddy who lives on a house boat on the lake and used to work at the marina. I will call him and ask what is up.
C'mon guys.There are a set of public restrooms up near the spillway outfall that were/are a hang out for homo-sexuals. Not unlike many other parks and public restrooms.

I have heard, but thank god, not seen the same thing.
I would guess it would be fairly easy to tell someone wanting to catch fish, and someone wanting to shake a worm so to speak.
I, personally, am after walleye. Never caught one, going to eat one. I just kinda watch the guys catching, and try to do what they do. They're catching, and not snagging. Haven't figured them out yet. Sure not like the gills or crappies I'm used to.
If you're down there and see a sorry individual crawl out of a red Ranger with topper, and a decal saying "Life is short, Fish often", say, "hey", cause I'm there trying to figure them out too.
A buddy of mine caught crappie and eyes around the bridge a few weeks ago, but haven't been there yet. I kinda enjoy being in the regular folks listening to the BS.
Ya'll come back and see me!
Yeah I am referring to those "funny guys" that tend to hang around the bathrooms....lets just say you wouldn't wanna drop your bait and have to bend over to pick it up...lol
yeah I think most of the "funny" acts take place at night or I'm hoping they do, wouldn't wanna see that in the daylight or night for that matter!!
With everyone talking about fishing down there I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend, prolly saturday morning. haven't fished the spillway since 00' but we would always catch them between the ramp and the 1st bend coming out of the box on nightcrawlers.
If your down there and having any trouble finding people that'll help you out I'll be in a silver Dodge with a spinning outfit casting like KVD..LOL..just give me a shout.
