Yes. In between the big tunnel on the west and the newer power plant to the east, against the dam is some slack water that eddies back towards the power plant and when those caddis start hitting the water in the evening the big fish show up and it can be pandemonium! I've seen some of the biggest noses ever right there during the month of June when the caddis are dropping eggs.
