I use live suckers, about 5-8 inches long. You can get them at the bait store on the way to Keystone Power Dam, or trap some of your own. Creek chubs work good too. I use a piece of surgical tubing when I hook them through the lips slid over the hook to keep them from getting thrashed around (as Much) when casting, they stay alive a lot longer.
I either slow drift them or fish under a float if I am fishing a river.
