Hopefully there will be access to the river from there when it's opened.

And since I had time to kill I parked on a side road a little North of the falls and crossed the road to get under a bridge. It was a real pain because the road was extremely busy. Fished for 30 minutes but nothing was biting, BUT, I saw some HUGE fish breaking the surface of the water. I mean HUGE. Not sure if they were Carp or Pike.
I fish that area regularly, in fact, that may have been my buddy and I out there. The construction has definetly made accessing there a bit more difficult. Above the falls over there is carp city. I roll through there in my kayak and regularly end up spooking "schools" of big carp. I've never really targeted them, but landed one a few weeks ago while pike fishing.
