I whent out and bought some of them featherd spiners, and a fly spiner, im gin down the chattahoochee in a big ole raft. should we anchor somewhere and just through out spinners and fish, or troll or some thin, just tell me the best way to do it, and how i should fish

Casting will probably work better than trolling. When I'm fishing in a stream, I cast the lure upstream and across, and wind it in just fast enough to give it action. (Think about it — trout sit in a river looking for little struggling fish being washed downstream. They don't expect their meals to come upstream against the current.)

Cast toward some sort of structure, or into a riffle and work the lure into the calmer water below it.

Do the same with bait — no weight if the water's shallow and you can cast the light weight, otherwise a splitshot or something to get it deeper and help your cast. Remember, let the current carry the bait so it looks natural, but watch your line so you'll know when you're bit.
