No, they're using a fly w/ a single hook, probably an egg pattern more often than not. There's a hatchery next to the river @ the base of the dam @ Table Rock. Several outlets have a constant flow of water and that's where the fisheries dept releases young trout into Lake Taneycomo. It's one of the reasons the upper mile & a half or so is designated a trophy area. Trout come up the flow looking for a cheap meal. I've seen guys fishing the rocks right where the pipes come out & I've seen people moving rocks to "adjust" the channel. The thing that always amazes me is that there's more fish in the river w/in casting distance than there are in the outlets, but I guess that takes more work than the fish slappers are willing to commit to.

The fish slappers are the guys that stand side by side w/ six to ten feet of line out & flip the outlets from the hatchery on Taneycomo. They just stand there working that same six feet (sometimes less on a Saturday) & it looks like they're slapping the water w/ their rods, hence the name.
