Slick calm conditions and a high sun made the fish really skittish. The water was 48 degrees and slowly climbing in the afternoon. Finding isolated logs was key and getting the tube to hit them was crucial for getting the fish to commit. Being able to make really long cast with the heavy tube and staring up the sediment on the bottom was the best way to trigger the fish to commit.
