Pulling 3 way rigs with flies (referred to as pumping flies) is a popular method. 3 way rigs with minnows and the standard jig and minnow will all work. The where is the bigger question. The 41 bridge is always a decent bet. The bridges through town may be worth a look. Lots of people just fish out in front of Rainbow Park. Good idea to stop at the bait shop right near the launch to get current report/info.Good luck!

A person may fish from the shoreline of the whole park and any publicly accessible shoreline. 
I hope that helps.

Can't speak for this week, but last Friday Saturday and Sunday the perch bite was on fire on the river.

Boats anchored along the docks and fishermen on the T-dock were both catching them. Really nice average size to them as well 9-12"

The whitebass were also starting to show up, but after this weeks cold front and precipitation/wind muddying the water I would assume the river is gonna be pretty muddy this weekend.

Good luck if you're planning to get out!
