My 3-year old son and I casted small yellow (brass?) spinners from a canoe a month ago.  Landed 4 small trout, 5 got away.

You might run into the tail end of a Damsel Fly hatch, try one of those if your fly fishing,or Mayflies.
I've aalso had success with small yellow spinners (Panther Martin), and Mepps Black Fury

I was just there yesterday, we just cast small dries anywhere around log areas near shore and we caught trout all day long.  The only problem is there all very small trout, the largest we caught was maybe 11 inches.

Thanks for the info guys. Just got back today.  The ticket was any small dry adult mayfly imitation.  My favorite was a Royal Wolfe.  The mayfly were hatching like crazy.  The fly wasn't on the water any more than 30 seconds before a trout would take a swipe at it.  Biggest caught was about 8 ".  My 6 year old daughter had a blast.
