yeah. Best I've ever done prior is end of April. I found a bait ball subsurface that they were just all over. Bait ball was sandwiched between a current seam and a bank on the other side. I think it was the perfect situation because there were also fish staging slightly further out.

sadly this second winter put the kibosh on that. I've managed all of a single little male in the last two trips. Higher water, colder water, quick pressure drop are never a good thing by themselves but combine them...lol.
The one guy who I saw who was getting a few was 100% finesse senko game. While I have a few flies that I could utilize for that type of fishing (and have done it with success in the past), I just couldn't take myself away from my vastly preferred more aggressive strip/retrieve/swimbait type of game. Now, if he was absolutely crushing them, I probably would have reconsidered that mindset.
