good info!The few times I have been I caught them on rooster tails. Caught a few on crickets too! Managed a few on a fly rod but don't remember exactly what it was I was using. Guy there gave me some kind of fly and caught some till I lost it.

Definitely stay home if they running water. We showed up once without checking schedule and it was unfishable. Those fake trout eggs are good too.

I rig the kids up with a light spinning reel, 4 lb. ultra clear line (flourocarbon is good) with a small split-shot about 8-12" above a #12 or #14 egg hook and fresh Paulski's red salmon eggs on the hook. You can pick up the hooks and eggs either at the fly shop below the dam, or at the Cullman Walmart. I'd guess the one in Jasper has them too. You'll probably get fresher eggs at the fly shop though. Whole kernel corn from a can, can be just as good as the salmon eggs some days and a whole lot cheaper. I have had better luck just letting this rig drift in the current or rest on the bottom than under a float. If you do use a float, use a tiny one. If you like to use a spinner, a tiny black inline is good. As mentioned stay where you can evaculate quickly. Listen to this man...

Always caught a limit when I went. Homemade garlic/cheese balls, night crawlers, crickets or salmon eggs on a light weight Carolina rig.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

Trout putty orange green or yellow, out fishes and stays on the hook better than corn. Have been told trout cant digest corn, it will kill them, dont know if thats true. Use light tackle, longshank bream hook, two pieces small splitshot about 18 inches up the line. Forget about the float, leave them at home. Call and see if the waters on, if it is, stay home, there will be no fishing((800)525-3711). Turn at the bridge on 69, fish from there up. For the kids, find some deep holes to fish in, thats where the fish will be. Again I say, fish the deep water. The river above the pumping station is set up for fly fishing. You will park at the pumping station and walk toward the dam. The kids can fish the deep holes up there if you want to keep them close to you. The earlier the better is what I have found to be true. Good luck.
