Dixon Dam

[heath19]

Fished below the dixon dam today with brother and he caught one 15" walleye. I had a couple fish on but im pretty sure i was just snagging carp or something because i had a few scales on my hook a couple times,lol. The walleye should be biting pretty good here soon, ill be trying to hit the damn pretty regular waiting for the bite:icon_biggrin:

[gofish]

down below the high school is a lil crick,every time ya hit the dam there in dixon ya better fish it too.used ta always be chock full of shiners an walleye

[heath19]

would you be talking about the crick down below the boat ramp at page park?? or is there one closer to the high school, i dont remember. i usually dont go down on that side of the river.

[Fishaholic]

have to be down past the park!!

[gofish]

thats right,if im rememberin correct.beens lots of years back when i lived there.wasnt much of a crick attal but they stacked in there....used ta be deeper than dogsnot too....tried ta seine it ONCE lol

[heath19]

well it must have filled in since you have been there cause as far as i know its pretty shallow and nothing but mud. last year there was a big ole log stuck right at the mouth of it. i fished by it once or twice last spring and didnt catch anything....i went below the dam again tonight for awhile but didnt get any eyes, snagged one red horse and three quill back. the river is up and has a lot of crap floatin down it.

[gofish]

thats a shame.used ta be good fishin there...its only been 25 years or so since i was there though ,learned how ta fish fer eyes at dixon and oregon dams.no whites at the dam yet?

[heath19]

I havent caught any whites yet and havent seen anybody catch any, it can be really good white fishing up by the dam though if you hit it the right day, last year they caught the crap out of whites on the south side of the river down below the second bridge right above the old scrap yard that is down there. did pretty good on crappies two years ago right underneath the first bridge..

that hole is still there by the boat ramp just moved out a bit.....we still flat head it in the summer n fall

[gofish]

time fer the northerns ta start too.used ta catch a few at dixon but tons of em at oregon....might be comin that way myself next weekend ta fish the miss fer eyes

[heath19]

Well i dont know if you to come to around here to fish the miss for eyes unless your gonna go out on the ice. I went over the savanna bridge today and the river is still frooze over complety, but i dont know about by Dam 13 or 12, they might be opened up below them.

[gofish]

plannin on a lil farther south lol,down round quad cities

[cattracker16]

yepper it's open down round here, at least i know 15 and 16 are open kinda muddy and fast tho.

[heath19]

Pool 13 was opening up good today. Yesterday it was frooze completely but today when we come back it was opened up pretty good, i think by the weekend it will be completely open.

[dipper69_2000]

they benn gett'n a few eyes in bellvue but last i heard had to fish around the ice flows sounds like no fun to me

[heath19]

i was wanting to get out below dam 13 or up by bellvue but havent yet this year and dont know if i will due to some repairs needed on the boat, the river should be ice free by now....i heard they found the body of the guy that drowned early ice this winter..he was 20 miles downstream where they found him around the clinton bridge.
