I agree with LL on the fin erosion. I think most of what I've caught up there the last two times I went were the recent planters.
As far as parking Griggs, if you're coming from Provo, there is a turnoff on the left side of the road just before you go over the dam. Follow the road a couple hundred yards and you'll find a nice big parking lot for the Provo/Jordan river trail. Park the car and follow the trail past the dam along the Heber Creeper railroad tracks. I'm echoing what the TyeDye twins told me a couple weeks ago here, which turned out to be some stellar info. Follow the trail for maybe a half mile from the parking lot, out to the buoys beyond the dam. Fishing between the dam and the buoys is prohibited, and there are no trespassing signs to reiterate this.(Although the first time I went, there were about five or six guys who didn't seem to care and were fishing right next to the dam, even on the cement wall. Didn't see them catching anything so I'm not sure why they were all fishing there in a group. Not worth the risk of a fine or losing my fishing privileges if you ask me.) When you get to the buoys, there are a couple semi steep trails down to the shore. Be careful if there is snow, I'm sure it could get pretty slick with the grade of the slope there. Hope this helps. Oh, and one other tidbit they passed on to me that has helped, use a gold kastmaster. I've been using a 1/4 oz. perch colored kastmaster(which is mostly gold). The fish seem to love it, and it casts great, even in the wind.
TyeDye, I thought the same thing about the darker trout being a spawner, especially because of the jaw being so much bigger than the others. I caught that one on a white tube jig tipped with a crawler under a bobber. The wind was blowing the bobber from our right to left so we'd cast 'em out and watch 'em drift and bounce on the waves until we got a hit. We only caught a couple like that, but it was fun.
I should be making one more trip to that spot on Saturday. Got a friend coming in from Idaho to try some Utah fishing.
