If you are fishing for catfish and stripper, is it better to fish the low side or high side of the dam?

If your bank fishing then below the dam would probably be the best place to start. If you have a boat I would try up on the lake. It works for me.

whats up everyone, i know in ohio fishing below the dam is where it is at.....u might loose a lil tackle due to snags but its worth it....ur best bet would be to cast ur goldfish(or whatever bait u might prefer) out , slightly tighten ur line, then dont touch it.....ive caught some nice cats below dillon dam ......from what i hear the bait fish run up river, the cats chase the baitfish, and when they hit the dam its a dead end.....so there they are at the dam......

I also try to catch the dam fish below the dam dam! LOL Around here the shad get so thick below the dam you can catch your fill with a throw net and them hook'em up and let'em drift.

I hit up the back side of the dam here at Lake Sangchris one night this past summer. Never fished it before, so we thought we'd give it a try. I tossed out the cast net to get some bait fish, and I think I ended up with the majority of the lake's fish population lol. I had numerous carp, chub, hybrid bass, bluegill, shad, and one 12" smallmouth bass. If I could make a haul like that every time I threw out the cast net, I'd be good to go. It's an awesome spot for netting baitfish if you have a steel cast net...The snags are terrible haha. Turned my poor net into a paper doll quick.
