Skip Detroit and head to Big Cliff, just a few miles west. Walk down the bank on the rocks just as you take the turn at the entrance and be ready for some fatties. I've heard from the locals in Mill City that there are steelhead under the bridge in good numbers, still.
lower and upper Bennett dams are showing a few springers passing buy with a couple of steelies.
"Fatties" refers to nice, plump fish.Does "fatties" refer to some kind of fish, or just the fisherpeople ? Important to know whether I should be bringing a particular lure, or donuts.

X 2. Try a torpedo bobber, about 4' of leader, and a Woolly Bugger tipped with just a tiny bit of worm on the hook. BAM!
There's a decent sporting goods shop, in Mill City, for bait or whatever else.

I don't know if I have any wooly buggers. I might, though. What do they look like ? I do have jigs with plastic Cthulhu thingies in different colors.
When you say "tiny bit of worm", would a plastic grub about 3/4" long meet that requirement, or do you mean nightcrawler vivisection ?
Not familiar. Where are these ?
I wasn't with him at the time, but I'm fairly certain it was a fat steelhead and spinners he was using. The area I'm referring to is about 1/4 mile west of the actual dam.RC.....regarding Big Cliff: was he catching trout or steelhead? I was curious if you knew whether he was throwing bait or hardware? I've fished those waters unsuccessfully. I always figured it was due to the turbulence from the dam even though it looked like it would be productive. Perhaps my OFFering or presentation was way OFF. You've piqued my interest by your post. Any help is good! Thanks
