In my experience the answer is both. It depends on the proximity of the fish to the newly established structure. The fish that are near the newly flooded vegetation will follow the bait into that vegetation. The fish that are nearer the inflow areas will follow the bait to the nutrient rich inflows. Water clarity will play a role as well. Staying with Milford, 2 years ago when it came up the fish were in the edge of the muddy water in the creeks. Just my experiences...which are more limited than many others on this board.
