Bear River Noob

[Boisan]

I am completely unfamiliar with the Bear and need some hand holding. I want to take my kids fishing this weekend somewhere between Corrine and the refuge. Im such a noob to this area that im assuming catfish and carp will give us the most action this time of year but I honestly dont know what species are in the river and if it is even reasonable that one would catch a fish mid-April. 

We'll be fishing from shore with spinning and bait casting setups soaking worms. Any advice for access or recent reports would be humbly appreciated.
