skunked at dickson dam and dickson trout pond

[nevercatchmuch]

Well, I came home empty handed today after a few hours below the dickson dam, and out at the trout pond..... Anyone having better luck than me? What are you using?

[Husky Jerk]

I was at the dam briefly yesterday and caught a 55cm jack in that deep hole west of the spillway. I was using a deep diving shad rap in a perch pattern. Slow twitching retrieve along the rocks. Was talking to a guy there who uses blue/white buzz bombs for catching browns.

I was at the trout pond there about a month ago, alot of rainbows biting on silver and gold spinners.

I'll try to go to the deep hole by the spillway. I was fishing about as far west as possible by the secondary water inlet. Thanks for the suggestions!

Walk down stream from the boat launch and there is a decent hole. It's about 15 minutes walking.

I remember that pond being pretty big. Is it fishable from the shore, or is it better with a boat of somekind.

[Husky Jerk]

It is fishable from shore. Plenty of access to most of the pond. You can access the north side of the pond if you keep right at the Y in the road before entering but you have to park at the top of the hill and walk a little ways down.

the weeds are quite bad already so can be tough going from the shore in spots. I gave up on spinners and used bait under a float

[nevercatchmuch]

ah! bad again today. one bite only!!!
anyone know if it is fished out already? there are little ones rising but that was all I could see. Even those in boats were skunked.

me and a buddy fished dickson pond last weekend and probably caught 40 or 50 in 4 hrs pink and white powerbait on a pickeral rig. i recomend changing the hooks to very small ones as the fish are pretty small tight lines

I hit up the spillway today as well, my buddy caught a whitefish on his second cast but that was it all day... we were there for over three hours.

I have fished D.D. for many years at this time of the year. The water normally is high and flows fast and I get a lot of browns and very decent sizes. I have never seen it this slow and no fish to speak of. The browns are so good that I don't even bother trying for walleye until the middle of July.
Let's hope for more run off.
