How far up river do you have to go? I’ve fished from the mouth of little river up to where the creek splits (maybe 1.5 mi) and haven’t had any luck. I’ve fished all color jigs, no minnows. 2-10ft and 58-70 water temp.
I've went up to around where Rock Creek dumps in. Lot more structure the farther up you go. During the spawn they may be more in the main body of lake.
