I DON'T THINK YOU CAN USE BAIT ABOVE THE DAM. I THINK ITS ONLY FLYFISHING THERE, ALSO ITS CATCH AND RELEASSE ONLY

You'll be fine. Maybe take a couple of pictures of your stringer full of fish and see if they won't post them up for you at the local store.

Obviously I'm joking, but do make sure to read the regs.
