Diversion Dams along the Guadalupe River

As the water begins to heat in the Spring. You should be begin to move further away from the diversion dam. The water will begin to heat from the surface first, so the water below the dam will begin to also heat up. The warmest water will be spilling over the top of the dam raising the temps below the dam. This will push the fish further down stream to cooler water. What used to be productive water close to the dam will not be as productive.

The warmer the temps get, what used to be good holding water will begin to hold less & less fish.
