if you are on the same side you are hunting, you often do not see the animals until you move to the other side of the river!
My strategy here is to glass from the far side and move over and then hunt the animal from several hundred yards parallel to it.
Going straight up towards the critter rarely works in my experience.

The best place to find them in October will be right in the breaks along the river. ..especially when pressured.
It's super tough going in many places and recovery will likely be a chore. As Cat suggested, approaching from above or below is not a good bet and hunting parallel can be an endurance test. That's why they are there.
Lots of Big Guys around if you can put it all together. Good Luck !
