My coworker fish the Reservoir twice last weekend, he said he caught a dozen smallmouth both days from a boat. 12-14 inch range. He said he was using a white small jig.
I have not fished the river this year below the Dam, but when I have in the past, I ripped a lipless crankbait crawdad color or 3 inch brown curled tail grub on a lead headed jig. Either cranked it or jigged it, caught most fish where the pool starts to narrow down before it makes the first drop heading down river. You have walk through the brush right there. And almost always the fish would hit pretty close to the shore, not way out in the middle.
If your available I'm off this next friday the 14th. We could go below the Dam and hit the river for a short bit, then go up to lake and use my boat and check it out.
