Try fishing cut anchovies. Bluechalice is right, make sure you keep 'em frozen or they will fall right off your hook, either when you cast, or when you try to set the hook.
Try fishing at the dam near the buoy. DON'T tie up to the buoy, it is illegal, and they DO write tickets for it. Meter the fish, then fish that depth...this year they seem to be holding at 40-60ft. You can use a weight, or flyline (depends on the wind).
Another good place to try is Yellowbar (all the way at the other end). Fish the stripers the same way here (just not as deep).
Chop up some small pieces of chovie, then toss them over to bring the fish up. I have had days up there this year when I got bit EVERY single cast!
Make sure you bring enough bait. My advice is to get your chovies before you get up there...sometimes the bait shop runs out. Also, in my experience I have found that when the stipers are on bait, that is pretty much all they will bite--even more reason to make sure you have enough bait. I can't tell you how many times anglers have pulled up next to me and tried to barter for some bait. Heck, a bag of chovies is about $2, so why not stock up. You can always bring them home and freeze them.
Watch out for skiers and PWC. The lake is a zoo on the weekend. If you go on the weekend, go early!
Be safe, and good luck!!!

Bring a few bags. I have gone through 4 bags in a morning bite once! It was WIDE OPEN!
When fishing stripers, I usually fish 2 rods. On the second rod, I bait up a whole chovie, and put a trap hook on it, then I put it is the rod holder and strap it in. I usually fish this one with 10#, with hopes for a bigger fish.
If you don't have a fish finder, don't worry. Just estimate your depth, and try different depths. If the fish are there, you should eventually get hooked up. I have had good luck with a 1/4oz slider 1 1/2 ft above the hook, then casting out as far as I can, then letting the bait settle. The 1/4oz weight allows you to get the bait out farther than if you only had a split-shot or flylined bait. The other way is to drop your bait straight down and count...1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand, and so forth. REMEMBER what "count" you are fishing...try starting at 20, then to 25, then 30, and so forth till you find the fish. It is REALLY deep at the dam (over 200ft) so you can go pretty deep.
If you are on a rental, you want to get there EARLY. Get to the dam very early, fish, and get out of there...the water skiers and jet skiers generally have no regard for fisherman, and it will be pretty rough out there!
Try going on a weekday, you will have a much better experience!
