I used to live in Florissant and we would fish below the old dam (near the current Hwy 67 bridge)that was upstream of the current Melvin Price Lock and Dam 26.

That may be a good place to try. Even though they blew the dam, remnants of it and the old bridge footings probably still exist along with a scour hole.
