Pictures not much, just proof I did catch a few. Only place I could generate a bite was on bluff walls. Some at channel swings other times just in at transition’s in rock. It’s super muddy from all the recent rain. Tried some shallow rock throwing red craw colored Frittside5 with no luck.

low 40s water temps and a cold front makes for a tough bite. Mid diving small cranking up in the river produced the most consistent bite. When the current slowed, the TRD filled limits.
