Posting this here because I won't be taking my boat. We only have one tow vehicle, and we're taking the popup camper.
We'll be at the dam site campground on the Obey River about 100 yards down from the lake dam.
My understanding is that this is an excellent trout fishing area. I'm taking a bunch of power bait, along with some flys (woolly buggers and copper johns) and some berkeley vanish 6lb leader.
Going to give this technique a shot:

Also figure since its a dam spillway, catfish will be around. I usually just use hot dog / spam for channel cat, and I'll catch some bluegill for cutbait as well.
Has anyone been to this area? Any other species to target? I know the Obey empties into the Cumberland, which has striper.
Any particular bait or lures I should consider bringing with me?
Thanks!
