Worms on the bottom. Small jig heads or flies. Thats it, they hit anything.

Many of us use casting nets and minnow traps.

I prefer the cheapest dried dog food that I can find.

What setup do you use to get your worms to the bottom. I was thinking of using the standard hook, small leader, swivel and egg weight setup. Do you use a different/better rig?

That rig sounds great, but use 2 hooks, minimal leader and keep it so you can feel everything...bullet weight. They are pretty dumb, you just need to keep moving and do a slow drag along the bottom till you find a school. Start on the dam at settlement canyon and work your way areound casting every 10 feet or so.
