The river was running 3.7 on the gauge. I started out with a t rigged craw fishing grass. I did not have success. I then floated down river fan casting. When that did not work trying to cover water I started focusing on bridge piling. Cranking around them worked very well. I ended up having a great day.

The river is running about 3.6 on the gauge I go by. Per usual I do struggle when it’s starts flowing around 3.5 on the gauge. I started out by targeting a powerhouse turbine tunnels. Nothing happened there. I then was targeting trees that got stuck on the bottom and behind exposed rocks. I was in 1’ to 3.5’ of water. I managed a real small one on a crank bait. I eventually threw into one of the “deeper” pockets with a Ned rig and a Trd tickler and managed a decent one. It was a short trip.

The river dropped slightly. It was foggy in the morning. The fish pushed out of the current seams. They were in the shallows rocks in the rip rap. Speed up crashing into rocks was the key to triggering these fish.
