as a kid I was always envious of guys who fished for catfish below the dams with big rods, I could never figure out how they didn't lose there terminal tackle. Now I think I want to give it a try, any advice?
thanks

Are you talkng about from bank or boat? If your able to get in a boat the current will not wash you under stuff like it does from the bank. And there is less rip rap out there as well.
Sorry from the bank
is the bottom below those dams, rip/rap,sand or concrete?
Some have all 3 . Some have concrete baffles to slow current . We used to wade below Nimrod dam (Fouche la Fave River) on the concrete but it dropped off at a point closee to the dam . Sure Arkansas River dams most likely have something like it .Quote:
