Was there round 2:30am til like 4:30. I wanted to "familiarize" myself with the spillway.... Hehehe, I forgot the fact that "familiarizing" yourself with certain waters in pitch dark is quite difficult :D

Anyway, there was a few hardcores on the walkway right up where the water comes out. I fished the east bank with a small husky jerk. 1st cast, I caught one. Brought him all the way up to where I saw him and then boink, the husky jerk shot out of the water like a rocket and almost tagged my girl in the head. That's one sentence of b*tching. A few more and I landed a nice lil 15 incher. Got many more small bumps, but couldn't manage to set the hook. I'm thinkin they're not as active due to the crappy weather or maybe most of em's been caught, but what do I know.. I'm also thinking of trying different times such as sundown. Anyhow, it was fun. Left the parking lot at 04:15.

Was also at the outlet on friday night.  No walleyes but I did catch a nice smallmouth that went close to 2 1/2 pounds on a medium husky jerk.  Also caught a 15" left over stocker rainbow off the bottom with crawlers.  One thing interesting about the rainbow was that it had half of its tail fin recently bit off.
