Not familiar with the area but the NSR is a beast during runoff. Gotta find an old oxbow that connects during high water, a tributary, somewhere that the fish can get out of the main flow. It'll still be dirty but that's ok. Other thing is, heavy weights and bait. Worms or minnows, fished real slow and close to the bottom where the structure slows the current.

Few years ago, this time of year, I witnessed pike blowing up minnows in 6 inches of water in the mouth of a tiny feeder creek. Couldn't get them to hit a lure, don't think they could see it, but bait brought some action
