BEAVER TAILWATER
Fishing has been slow due to low generation. Trolling Flick'r Shads and spoons have produced some nice fish. Drift-fishing with light terminal tackle and Power Bait has also produced some nice fish. Drifting Power Eggs on free lines has produced some pretty good numbers as well. Most fish are being caught between Spider Creek and the U.S. 62 bridge during generation.

SPRING RIVER
Low, clear water makes for tough fishing on sunny days and easy catching on overcast days. A Y2K fished deep is productive on sunny days, as are big nymphs in olive or brown. Hot pink Trout Magnet have been good for spin fishermen. On a windy day use an indicator to get down below the leaves floating in the water.
