The majority of the time i fish below O.H. im down stream of the dam several miles.
If the current is more than your comfortable with, fish around the wing wall and in front of the spill gates if they are NOT spilling.
Ive caught saugers on the Rayon City side of the dam between the end of the wing wall and the boat ramp when they are generating 28-30k.....spilling is just too much. With the layout of the dam area, the generatprs create eddies on the opposite side of the river depending on which ones they are running.
Position your Bow upstream to slow your drift, upsize your lead to 1-1/4 oz. and crank up your trolling motor to chase your jig. The fish are there and its safe fishing its just difficult if your not seasoned in current like that. Its do-able though but it can be frustrating.
