On the bottom side of the dam is best for fishing. The launch is a long single lane with no dock at the bottom. This time of year the waters running high so the launching is much easier but it's going to take two people to safely get your boat in the water. Also the water below the dam is running similar to ocean conditions lots of the time so be careful.
Here's a video of the area from Dave Graybill the Fishin' Magician:
The launch can be seen at about the 25:50 mark.

thanks for the info
