This is second hand information, but from a reliable source (my pops!)

He’s been fishing Camanche in recent weeks and is having impressive results. There’s a good bite in the river channel near the dam. The two islands (top hat island being the bigger of the two) are a good landmark to help you find the channel. Once in the zone, slow trolled grubs behind an action disc has been the most productive bait. Colors are usually white and orange. They landed an 8.5 pounder last week along with a half dozen in the 3-4 pound class. They had been toplining with 100’ setbacks, but the weather shift may change that part of the pattern.

The old man typically runs Sepps grubs, I do not think they use dodgers/flashers.

Thanks for the inside tip!  I've been geared up for a trout mission since December, but only made one attempt so far this year.  Should have planned on going there this weekend, but opted to go to a camp out party instead of solo-ing.
