How Would You Fish It?

[Daze Off]

Just came back from the Rum River (small river) and it is WAY up - 3 ft. or more. It is running fast and dirty compared to normal. Not sure what water temp is but would guess low 50's or upper 40's. I have never personally seen the river this high which means the last 5-6 years.Going for smallies.

Would they react like spring and have moved into the flooded brush and timber along the shore? Would they have sunk down into the holes or behind current breaks mid-stream like bridge pilings?

What are your thoughts? How would you approach this situation? This has always been a really hot bite this time of year and in a few weeks I'll be switching lto live bait (large chubs) but would be interested in hearing what others might do...

Daze Off,

Send me an email at LSW2002 at AOL (Contact US Regarding This Word). My cousin lives near the Rum and fishes it pretty often.
