Drifter, You are allowed to go all the way up to the bouys that are all the way across below the dam. We have been told by other guys that they have been told you are not allowed to go above a red bouy that is down below the dam. But this is not true. You can go all the way up. Just be very respectful of the other boats and of course do not shoot toward the bank if some one is sitting there fishing. How would you like to be sitting on the bank fishing and someone points a bow your direction and shoots an arrow. We all know that there is no way it will go that far, but THEY DO NOT. As a matter of fact there is a red bouy down from the dam a ways. we usually shoot most of our fish below there any how So if there are boats up by the upper bouy just shoot below them and you will see plenty of fish.
