I usually have fairly good luck fishing off the dam. Drive to the far end and fish anywhere along that end. Restroom is located in the entryway parking lot. You can use a wide variety of small lures, spinners, as well as worms,shrimp and power bait. I cast out as far as possible,let it drift down to the count of ten, set the line and wait. I have also used the power bait with a bobber. Be aware of the wind coming down the valley, it usually gets to the dam around 11:00-12:00 every day. Oh yeah, one very important note, I drove on past the dam thinking I would go to the bridge. NOT!!! I felt like I was in an imaginary forest. LOTS of downed trees across the road. I'm surprised it isn't closed. Really bad , unless you don't care about your rig. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
