Sounds like a great time. The swift below the Q is very high as well since the main lake is still spilling over the dam. Smallies, pickerel and perch have all spilled over as well. I sure hope they don't have much of an effect on the brookie spawn in the fall.
More salmon must of spilled over as well
Different spawning times but I'd imagine a few. Salmon spillover usually coincides with the fall spawn.
Great post Allan!
Gate 11 is more of a trout gate (that whole side of the Q), that is not to say there are no bass to be had, but not in the same numbers... Also, gate 11 is not on the list of gates you can fish at night. I have hiked in and fished around gate 11 and there is very little shoreline to fish and now with the water up, you may need to fish out of a tree... Gate 16 is the closes and the one time Will and I hiked in we had little luck... That is only one data point so your results may vary.
