I hear ya, it is really tough to get to the areas that I normally fish this time of year (south of champlin). I put in at the Rum access a couple weeks ago and that first 1.5 miles down is sketchy to say the least, a lot of 2′ water, I didn’t hit any rocks but those riffles had me going. The low water had really concentrated the smallies and cats on what little structure there is. Finding fish took about 2 minutes. I usually troll with hot n tots and glass raps, white and silver are best. With the river moving much faster than normal up there I had no shoreline action at all. Everything was in 9′-13′ relating to humps/debris. PM me if you want an exact locale, I have been working so much I may not see the water again until it is frozen.
