I know the Maquoketa River. The dam you are talking about is the Backbone Lake Dam.
That is a good area for Trout. They are planted Trout but every bit as fun as natural Trout.
You can get them on small spinners, dropshot worms and Crickets in that area. They do plant the Browns, Brook Trout and Rainbows.
That whole section from the Dam to the Park that is down below is pretty much the best Trout area for that river. It is about a 8 or 9 mile stretch but there is plenty of acces points along the whole section.
The Park is called Joy Springs Park.[cool]
