Summary

Positioned below Oliver Dam, this pier fishes like a controlled river system. Water releases influence both current strength and fish activity, making timing critical. Fish often hold near structure and current breaks, especially during active flow periods. Bottom rigs and heavier tackle are commonly used to maintain presentation.

Notes

• Monitor dam release schedules

• Strong current possible during generation

Bottom Line

Best for anglers comfortable fishing moving freshwater with variable conditions.
