There really are no dangerous areas unless they are pumping huge amounts of water from the dam. You should be fine. Fish all aspects of the river. It is loaded with trout. Fish cover and holes. I usually cast up stream, you want your lures to be almost dragging the bottom. Fluoro is a must when trout fishing in clear water. And people will argue both ways about generation but my personal experience is the fishing is better without generators on.
