Behind the dams and creekmouths are good, but sometimes you'll find them on the bank holding near a big snag.

I tried to fish the river yesterday but quit after an hour. Too much current and the entire water column is full of leaves! Instead, I went to Elner Davis and caught my personal best LM, weighing 5 lb 4 oz and measured 21". Only bite I had between the two bodies of water. Sometimes even I get lucky.
JWP,What pool of the river are you fishing?Congrats on the LM,sounds like a hoss,Bigcat
