Been fishin the beds for 40 years and I still get the pucker factor coming around the end of wave rock! Allways fear the river....the day you don't, will be the day it jumps up and gets you.....Chuck

anyone catching any cat drifting at the falls, I have a few days and thinking of giving it a try one day this week.

Nope.Nobody here catching any fish in that area.

Just kidding. I've been having some of the best luck in years recently. Just be kind enough to move out of the way of a Blue over white Stratos with a 115 Johnson motor.

I fished down were you guys make the 90 degree turn at the ditch. I don't know what you call it. I was puckered watching

Tyler you have to teach me how to make it up there safe. I know how to get to the dam but I have not dared to go to the falls.

Sir, you are a wise man.

Do not ever attempt that on your own. It took many trips with people experienced with that route before I ever attempted it on my own. It's a lot trickery than it looks and as I've stated on some other posts, I still get a "pucker factor" when I run that shute.

Problems to consider are
1.What is the upper dam release?
2. What is the lower dam release?
3. And most important, what is the water level lower on the lower river? A depth of 18 feet is a lot more forgiving than when it gets down to 12 feet or lower.

It is my firm belief that no one can instruct you on this route over the phone,texting,or on the net. It must be learned on the river, in a boat, my someone experienced.
