    we only made it out a few hours sunday morning and all we managed was a sucker and something that threw the hook before we had a chance to see what it was. going out again this weekend to give it another go

    i caught a bout 16" walleye on my fly rod below the dam on saturday. there are a bunch of dead shad? floating and on the bottom, therefore there is a lot to eat if they want fish.
    a couple of guys were fishing with spinning rods but didn't see them catch anything.
    water temp was near 32 degrees and they had 4 gates open

    How do you get to blow the dam off 80?

    Outa- if you guys go up this coming weekend let me know if you do any good or not because i am throwing around either there or maybe erie on Monday. Erie may be decent to fish by then so we'll see i guess.  Double-is that issue with the shad die off common for this time of year or is that unusual? Just askin. Thanks.

    aceb, i heard it's common during this cold spell though i didn't hear why. mikastorm might know more about it.

    Shad Kills happen in alot of reservoirs when the lake water hits a certain low temperature. The shad become lethargic or even die, then they are flushed out the dam and the river fish can sometimes gorge on them.

    I see it every year. Sometimes while ice fishing you,ll see them swirling in circles under the ice.
    As D-nymph stated , its when the temps get below 33 you see this.
