[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 85518, member: 600"] I have fished the tailrace for roughly 32 years, only from the dam to 4 miles down river, in the first 25 years, only dinged 1 prop on a rock (slightly bent the tip of 1 blade). Then one day (during low water releases) unloaded the boat off the trailer, and backed up on a rock, there I sat couldn't move, a nice guy in another boat pulls up beside me, and asked if I as grounded, I said no I must be on a rock. Throw him a rope and he pulls me off. Go down river, and cross the gravel hump at the first curve, get in the deeper water on the other side, crack the throttle half open, and the tiller handle shoots out of my hand (have the Stingray Hydrofoil on my motor) hit a submerged tree. Get done fishing, and coming back up river fallowing my trail on the graph, cross the hump again, and hit another rock, and chew up the prop pretty good.;:;banghead 3 times in one day:mad:. Moral of this story is, never let your guard down when you fish the river. [/QUOTE]
