its a great spot when the season first starts and it gets slim when the weather heats up. Every year a school of bottle nose dolphins chase schools of herring up the mystic to the dam and then disappear. I have yet to see but some reliable oldtimers have witnessed. Could be this week or next its hard to say. The dam is my favorite spot for easy access and quick action for some biggies. Fishing the low-tide has been most productive for me and many others. Snagging live alwives and letting them ride on the baitrunner is lots of fun. I am down there often. You wont find me down there with snow. I will battle rain for the prize! Fishing along structure down there is the key for most. But, then again some large ones have been caught within arms 20 ft off shore. Casting to where the boats enter the locks is very nice. Also when ocean side @ lockes is dead. Anywhere on the mystic river, especially the end, (alwives laying eggs) is very glorious when alwives are moving in. Again, this is all from my experience and have been fishing dam for 10 years.
