[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 85503, member: 1372"] Can't go wrong with jigs, and cranks are a close second for me in both fall and spring. Try to find current breaks, eddies or deep holes. Those are always great places to start. Have also had lots of success pulling floater cranks in 4fow, and pitching jigs shallow. Minnows or plastics can both work, I would say experiment with both. While fishing the river can take practice, a very much overlooked aspect is navigating the river. Sandbars can change daily, and water levels can rise and fall. Try to stay in the main river channel when traveling, be on the constant look out for tree's, both floating and partially submerged. If you are unfamiliar with which part of the river to travel, follow another boat that has been on the water previously. Once you break it down a bit, the river isn't as intimidating as it looks and the rewards can be massive. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
