Alek, if you want to avoid the hassle of tying multiple knots, losing 3-way rigs and messing with bait, the maribou jigs sold by Lilley’s Landing on Lake Taneycomo are the most consistent and productive trout catchers that I know of. The sculpin pattern is a great all-around choice. Use the 1/16 or 3/32 oz. jigs in light current, 1/8 oz or heavier in the big flows. Never tried it on the White, but a 1/64 or smaller jig under a float can be dynamite on Taneycomo. I’m sure it would work well on the White and could be a good option for the boy.
