Whats in your spillway?
I have fished lots of ponds and lakes. Most of them the pond overflow goes to a small creek. But some of the bigger ones have a nice pool for the spillway. In these type ponds or lakes, I catch lots of nice fish in the spillway. Most of these fish had to come from the pond and not from the creek. I catch LMB, Chain Pickerel, BG and Crappies. Most of the overflow setups around here allow for fish to make it through the spill pipe. The ponds/lakes here always have the same water level, it does not fluctuate. But the flow can go from just a trickle to a tremendous flow after a major rain event.
Anyhow, do y'all try to prevent fish from leaving through the overflow, like with fencing or netting?
Do you try to recover fish from the spillway with traps or nets?
