Spin-fishing right?

Powerbait (orange, Rainbow, and Chartreuse have always treated me well), is the way to go if you're bait fishing. Put it on a #10 single hook and put a small split shot up the line about a foot or so. Ball up just enough Powerbait to cover the hook and float it off the bottom.

As for spots, I don't mind being specific since this is a trout park after all

If you're bait fishing, park at the parking lot at the Low-water bridge, and walk upstream until you come to the mill dam. The plunge pool just below it doesn't get as much pressure as you would think, and if you get there at the buzzer you will catch trout. As a matter of fact, it usually fishes well through the day. If the water is up, try the slower water along the banks, and make sure you're fishing pretty close to the bottom. The spring branch (which is the first place you'll see when pulling into the park), fishes okay right after the buzzer, but it gets way too crowded for me. I'd reccommend staying away from it.

Also, the water in front of the campground can be pretty good. There are a lot of boulders in that section that create pocket water type fishing, and the eddies below each boulder will hold trout, especially in the morning. There are also a few deep pools along there that are good as well.

Good luck, and I hope this helps!

High water means that you can get away with bigger lures and heavier line....Bright & dark colors will probably work better than more natural tones. Wish I could make it down to toss some big minnow baits below the park...Try some heavier jigs...1/32, 1/8oz, 1/4oz, bigger inline spinners, or fish a big streamer, or use a heavy indicator rig with a bright colored egg or worm with a bugger, mohair leach, or a a big nymph dropper. Bring lots of split shot. Fish will probably be deep and they will seek shelter out of the main flow...hit the seams & eddy's, and slow pockets in fast water. Good luck.

Spin-fishing right?

Yes i will be spin fishing and thanks alot im assuming u mean the powerbait that u can shape urself and not the nuggets cause i usually get a thing or two of the yellow powerbait trout nuggets and i usually fish them with a tiny treble hook so do u think id have more luck usuing a single hook with the other type of powerbait?

And thanks ur info will help alot i apprerciatte it

Tiny treble hooks and Powerbait nuggets should work too. I usually fished with a single hook and moldable Rainbow colored powerbait when I used to bait fish down there. Gavin's right;Slow eddy water, and the areas along the banks will be best.

Spinners and jigs often work, but Powerbait is definitely the most sure way to get into fish down there.
