When I went I used a 1/4" cast net, and set out 2 minnow traps, and also used a rod and reel. I was very surprised at the end, I pulled in the traps and caught absolutely nothing, using dry dog food for bait. The net consistently caught minnows from 1 1/2" to 4 or 5" and not a lot of adults, but I had to cast it a lot of times to get a bunch of them. I was mainly interested in getting the 4-5" ones, like they used to sell. It's kind of a dirty stinky business! You can certainly get a lot of those small ones if you cast your net a lot of times. Of course you just drive down below the dam and do it anywhere you can park and get to the water easily, no problem. You'll see thousands of them there in the river.
