Slow rolling this big swimbait just over the top of the rocks always does well in the cooler spring and fall months. 1/8 and 1/4 swim jig heads are best. Up to 3/8 if you need to get down to 12'fow or more.

I had an awesome time fishing the river for the first time down there and even caught some really high-quality fish. Wood in warm bays was the main player but took a bit to locate were the fish would be. Jig was the key and caught all my fish on a jig.

Rip Rap
First two weeks of April fishing from shore. Fish were in as shallow as possible clinging to riprap. Middle of the day was most productive. Bouncing a football jig with a craw trailer off of rock and rip rap was producing. All fish in less than 4 feet of water.

Fish just below the lock on Pool 2. Slow moving to dead stick jig on the bottom. Using bright jigs and white plastics or live minnows worked great.
