Loving the river height right now. An area I’ve bank fished before is submerged and knowing it’s a big stretch of rocks that’s where I found the smallies. Slowly dragging the ned rig on the bottom with slight pauses and jerks.

We fished the river south of St Cloud. While the river was high and the current was fast, we were able to find enough still water and plenty of smallies. Topwater worked for some guys, and a couple of us did very well using wacky and jigs. Green colors always seem to work best. The water was stained but not too cloudy.
