When you talk about in line spinners are you talking about mepp's and those like that? Is there a place i can go to get a map of the river with all those spots you talked about on it. Only map I found was on rim shoals resort map and I couldnt find all of those spots.

Good advice above. If you must have a cast and reel back lure, in-line spinners work well in fast water. Of course with high water you won't see riffles at Redbud Shoals (above Rim Shoals trophy area and below Cotter) or at Ranchette. I am partial to gold and to pink.

BTW, my favorite stretch of the river is Cotter to Ranchette. White Hole and Sportsman Hole are good, especially for browns, but I've always caught larger bows below Cotter.

Hey thanks a lot for all the help. Finally found a great google map with all of those spots. Is the river a little tougher fishing when it runs like this? Sorry all I do is walleye fish, but slowly learning about trout. I like to lure fish, but my buddy really only likes to drift down dragging powerbait. I also imagine you fish with a pretty small mepps? I usually use a 2 but again thats for large mouth. Thanks again for the help

With high water there are better bait drift choices than power bait. Personally, I would fish red worms if I were fishing bait on the drift. Thread the worm on a number 4 hook so it looks like a J and leave the end dangling.

The 1 or 2 size spinners work the best but I urge you to pay heed to earlier posts and fish Rogues or Rapalas instead. In high water you will do much better.
