Their raw, untamable power makes the Dorado amazing fish! With their ferocious nature, they have earned the reputation of ‘king’ of warm, freshwater sporting fish
The fishing is done in the exclusive 1.5 mile tail-waters below the dam, where waters can fluctuate day to day. Fly fishing is the best in January and February, when the water is predictably at its lowest below the dam. It is also the hottest at this time of year. September to May will find the water at low stages and more conducive fly fishing. However - Fishing with conventional tackle is best in August, through October when the gradually rising waters have historically yielded the biggest fish of the season. There is typically higher water during this time, so going deep with big crank baits and minnow imitations is the standard tactic. This is the period when world records have been set.
