We drove out there last Saturday. The kayak fishermen are catching some males when going up river a ways. The females haven't made it yet.

Is there a particular area to fish for whites during the run?

From what I understand, the shallows upriver from the ramp.

Went Tuesday with a buddy. Caught 20 in 3 hours upstream - about as far as you can go in a 12 foot boat with a trolling motor. The fish were 10.5 12" and all males. Fished Wednesday morning in the same area and caught another 20 with 3 of those being pre-spawn females. All fish were caught on chartreuse road runners with same color tail. Smaller lures worked better.

Heading up there for a camping trip this weekend. Thanks for the encouraging report. I'm sure I'll figure it out when I get there, but how far up from the campground area is the first set of riffles?
Edit: Google maps implies that they're right in front of the campsites?

I estimate the area we fished was about a mile and a quarter from the ramp.

I took off work today and arrived at the park at about 2:30. Walked upstream from the parking area and flyfished from about 3 to 7:30. Caught 30 keepers. All were released. White Crazy Charlie produced but most were caught on a chartreuse/white beadhead Clouser. The fish are in the faster, shallower water and actively spawning.

Got 4 in 45m or so, upstream of the north camping area. #4-6 White/chart clouser with bead eyes was the only fly I used. Shade fished better than sunny areas for me.
