Don't know about the dam,but my buddy caught nice mess at Deercreek spillway tuesday afternoon.

They have been catching them at the greenup dam this week.

went yesterday and fished about four hours and not a bite. Water was up and pretty dirty but thought I would atleast get a bite. Going to wait til water goes down and try again.

Caught 5 nice keeper saugeye at lake Rupert wednesday 18 to 20 inches at face of the dam also caught a few crappie. Looks like this rain going to mess fishing up again.

I just looked online and the water temp at the Greenup Dam is 45 degrees! That's like normal early March or mid-march temps. If the water wasn't so high, I'd say a guy could do pretty good for himself off those rock piles by the beach on the Ohio side

i drive past the dam every morning on my way to work from wheelersburg to south point and this past week i have been seeing a lot of pickup trucks parked on the little side road. Was on my way to work this morn around 15 after 7 and saw a couple of trucks and guys getting out their rods and reels and minnow buckets. its usually a good sign the fish are bitiing when you see those older retired fellers showing up to fish they know whats going on. thinking i might check it out in the morning as long as we dont get too much rain.

Wondering what these warmer water temps will do to the traditional "runs" that some groups make. Of course it is now snowing and temps will be in the teens tonight lol

Had a good day of fishing,Caught 17 sauger and few white bass at greenup dam.

Anyone else being to the river trying to catch sauger? Im going to try tomorrow evening, let you know how I did.

Today at greenup dam,caught 3 saugeye 5 white bass 1 catfish 2 crappie. In all a good day.

Boated 20 Saturday at the dam as well as 10 or so whites in under 3 hours

My buddy and i tried whitesmill in Athens fished 5 hours today.
12 crappie
2 smallmouth
2 nice channel cats,on creek chubs
5 sauger
1 big ass drum, snagged it on rooster tail.

I'm late to the party, but the sauger bite was outstanding all winter long at the Greenup Dam. There were only a few times that I didn't go and catch my limit.
