cant find the bass out there anyone got any tips

Always been very tough for me in the winter. My best advice would be to idle up the river and flip a jig but its a long idle for sometimes poor results

Wait Til summer is literally the best advice. Winter fishing has always been tough out there.

In winter, Drag a halo jig on rocks with sun exposure. Only thing I seem to get bit on in winter

Always done the best in cold water/winter up in the river area. I can remember one trip in 40 degree water where we caught 30-35 fish just flipping shallow stuff up there. they freight trained it at times. Look for places that hold heat and have some cover.

Im not sure if you can even make it up the river now...pretty sure they have the south side of the bridge blocked off atleast they did a few weeks ago

Its been at least 2 years since i was up there so its best to go with better advice than I have,,,,

Well mark if you ever want to give it another run let me know...I got a charger 173 that'll easily sit in the shallowest parts of that river...

from what i was told this weekend it is manageable to get up the river...just takes longer due to the "idle" only rule.

I have the run saved as a trail I think but its all relative to water level. I hate that they made it idle only as it means its all but impossible to fish it in the night tournaments and then even on a full day you gotta commit to it up there because of the time factor. Those fish get fickle with pressure up there too.

We did they implement the idle only rule? Last time I was there some jack [censored] was going as fast as his little aluminum john boat could go up there. Can't believe he never hit any stumps.

Year or so ago I think
