When the water turns to turbulant, muddy madness, I’ve only done well finding areas that clear up a little……… which may take a while. July/August on the Yellow River……. right after a storm shakes everything up and muddies up the current, slacks aren’t as “filthy” as current driven torrents. Find the breaks or clearer, stiller waters, and you should be able to start relocating your bite.
The water is also cooling thanks to the last week so fish are becoming more active again………. in areas that the water’s been very warm, like 80 or so.
It’s worked on the Yellow so I’m not sure that it wouldn’t work elsewhere.
Good luck!
