The family and I are going camping at Ririe starting tomorrow night and I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I have a float tube.

depends what you want to fish for....
I like to bass fish and i have got some healthy fish on just night crawlers. If you go straight across the lake from the boat ramp to the south side you will find lots of fish within 50 ft off shore.
I was out there last weekend with my wife and a friend and his wife. The ladies were using night crawlers and pulled in bass, perch, trout and even a sucker fish. I was fishing some soft plastics and managed to pull in a lot of perch and 2 decent bass but the live bait was definetely winning.
Let me know how things go!
p.s. since your in a float tube you might also try just down from the boat ramp near the floating dock back in that little cove. i have seen people pull everything out of there and its easier then going across the lake

Be careful after about 10am. the joyriders usually get a bit thick and there is always a couple that think it's cool to pass at high speeds close to fishermen. Probly best to stick close to the coves once that time hits. The locations mentioned would be good spots to try. I also have lots of luck w/ inline spinners in gold or silver out there.

Sorry I was out of town before you left. Everyone gave you great advice. The trout are usually pretty easy to catch once you find the contour line that they are hanging on. I would floatube in the morning until 10AM as mentioned and then again after 5PM in the evening.

Has anyone tried fishing from the north end of the lake near the dam? It seems like there will not be as many boaters up there.
Please let me know if it is any good.

It is good fishing, however there are just as many boaters up there and there is often at least one that thinks it's fun to buzz people in smaller boats, at least on the weekends and holidays. If you go out mid week in the morning it's not too bad usually.
