I don't know how familiar you are with that area, but you could fish below the reservoir. There are some nice holes there that I am sure hold trout. I would throw a small spinner or spoon. Make sure you check the regs for the river as it is closed to fishing a few months out of the year.

I've never fished it for trout, so I really don't know. You are probably catching steelhead smolts. I'm sure the river is full of them this time of year.

Probably best to leave it alone and not kill the smolts IMHO
