River is transitioning, and as well the fish.Brown trout are more tolerant of warmer water than the other trout, but its likely there just aren't many per mile.Likewise! Especially something like a big ol chubby Chernobyl or PMXit was sweet! Right in front of me too. They were chasing the streamer hard though, just as many shook off as I got in the net! Just can’t believe there was nothing else interested… Google says all them goldeye are indicative of warm turbid water and likely more sauger/walleye catfish etc in the area… I’ve caught a brown trout 3-4 miles EAST so it’s all a puzzle to me…
Those Goldeye are wicked cool looking, love the large scales and color. They also are eager feeders. But they have soft mouths. In my experience( lake water) they will chase big flies, but their small mouths results in lots of misses. Smaller white bucktail, like a clouser works well.
Sometimes you just have to embrace whatever the water produces.
