I did very well last weekend on live bait. Fished the mid section of the creek, and bites came on shallow lines. Everything from 10 ft. free lines to 18 ft 1/4 oz lines got bites. I haven't fished at night, but the morning bite was very aggressive for the first hour of day light, and then completely shut off. That's usually a sign that they're feeding an night and I just got in on the end of the bite. I would think that slivers and doll flies will work well.
