Can someone share anything on catching keeper walleye in the creek or river ?
I'm pretty sure there are catchable fish here, fly, spin bait etc.

Denny,
I caught a big walleye fly fishing with a black crappie jig below the dam but I was fishing for trout.
Surely you can grab a few minnows, fish deep and catch a few, especially at night.

Chart use and white clousers.
Hit the power house 15 mins before dark and fish for an hour. When u pull up, as ur looking at the water, the fence on the right is blown down. Walk last that 30 yards and start fishing. The water from the dam face to the fence is about 12 ft. On the otherside of the fence where u will be fishing, starts to come up to 6 ft. The walleye are sitting on that incline riding the wave like a surf board. Either they're biting or they are not. You don't invite within one hour leave. We've been catching fish up to 22 inches. Couple five and 6 pound browns, 15 to 18 inch sand Bass, a 10 pound blue cat, big rainbow trout, smallmouth, prickle, and spotted bass. Sometimes a crappie.

I've caught a few in the area that Tarponfly indicates (not near his experience). The occasional times I've picked up walleyes, when stripping back in woolly buggers for example, the bite (again only a few times on this), has been light. The bite feels like I picked up a small twig when stripping the streamer back to me.

Dude, you are so freakin generous with your info. You're awesome! Anyhow, is that a standing wave that you're talking about? When my wife and I stay at the Park on Memorial Day I'm going to have to try it. I mean, are the fish surfing it the way dolphins do the bow wave on a boat?

I have caught them in the area Carey mentioned. I was using a rainbow trout pattern zray ( the company closed down several years ago). I worked it slow and near the bottom. Carey is right, at first I'm thinking, did I get snagged on something. Once there was movement I did a hookset and as Sid once described it, like pulling a wet beach towel in. Until they get near a net. I took 22 of them one year according to my logs and most were below the powerhouse. The one I had the biggest surprise out of was taken in the Evening Hole and went 22". This was during a time went the Spillway flood gates were open and I guess some of the walleyes came through the open gates.
