Saw on a fly fishing FB page one guy did well there recently. I stopped going there after not catching much for 2 years in a row and the owner admitting not to be stocking regularly at the time.

Let us know how you go.

Not bad.

I was down there last month and it wasn't bad but not as good as I had expected either.

Top dam is strictly catch and keep ($5 a fish) and the bottom dam is catch and release.  The top dam fishes better as you would expect and I had 5 trout and a redfin on the bank over the weekend (I didn't know the top dam wasn't catch and release until I had pulled a couple out of there).

From talking to the owner (Paul) apparently the fish are more active this time of year so you should do OK.

He also does private tours by prior arrangment to dams he has stocked with trophy fish and if I was to go again I would have a look at doing this.
