Newly/ High water flooded timber?

OK, I still struggle with the river when it gets up. My brain still relates as if it were at normal levels.
So, how far up into the timber should a person be going in search of bass?? Some areas will have large amounts of trees now in water.
Does there seem to be a specific depth of water?
I will flat out have some problems getting back into the “woods” very far because of the in-ability to simply access due to TO MANY TREES?
The TO Many seems to be my biggest mental struggle.
Any advice?
