This fishing area provides some unique oppurtunities. All types of fish come through the dam and wash down the spillway. During the day fishing is good but at night that is when the fishing really gets hot. where the spillway and the Ocklawaha River flow south there is a small branch that runs quite deep ai it's mouth. The really big catfish lay here and wit for small baitfish to wash into these areas where they are lurking. The last recorded State Record catfish I hear of was caught off of this pier the catfish went 30 plus pounds. If you want to pole fish from the bank here is the place. If you want t a fight come at night when the big boys are lurking about.
