    Tailrace Advice.

    I really never paid a lot of attention to which gates were open or closed, but I know what I’m looking for relating to the current. More water is better than less, and when they shut it down you might as well leave. Look for the current seams. You can feel it on your lure as you are reeling...

    Tailrace trout

    Has anyone here ever tried or had any success fly fishing for trout in the tailrace or downstream? I’ve caught some on traditional tackle and I know there are plenty of them there, but I’ve never seen or even heard of anyone fly fishing it. Just wondering if anyone has any intel.

    I’ve been keeping one for many years. It is excellent as a reference. Date, water temps, weather conditions, depth, etc.
