Try fishing the current breaks along the back eddies. Get some double twister tail jigs in yellow and white. Fish them slow right where the slow water of the eddy meet the faster water of the main current.
Or get some earth worms. Put a worm on a small hook about a foot below a float and float that down stretches of gentle current, the slower the better.
Alternately, you can let the bait sit right on the bottom, but expect to catch more suckers then anything else if you do.
To bait fish the bottom, a worm on a small hook, about six inches from a sinker that is just large enough to hold the bait in the current you are fishing.
Slow current will get you Goldeye, medium current and current breaks will be where the Walleye hang out. Pike will show up anywhere, but prefer little to no current.
Downsteam of the City you will find Goldeye, Walleye, and Pike. The further east you go the more and larger they will be. West of the city you will find more Trout. I didn't fish west of the city but it is my understanding that there are Rainbows and Brown Trout within fifty miles west of the City, with more Browns the further West you go. But as I say, that is second hand information.
