We fished the Taylor and East River. My son and his friend were learning the ropes on how to river fish with lures, and each of them caught or hooked several trout, from 13 to 15 inches, mostly on red and white daredevils.
We also fished the Taylor River inlet at Taylor reservoir from shore. One of the boys caught about an 18 inch pike, and more rainbows, using spoons. I had some luck with a gold spoon, but my best result was using TFB's technique--size 12 hook with a chunk of worm drifting it down stream. Biggest trout I caught was about 19 inches, healthy and full of fight. Several other fishermen were having good luck with worms on the bottom.
We stopped by the dam catch and release area, and every fly fisherman there was getting skunked. The local stores also report that spot as slow.
