i have had great results fishing the standing timber on the edge of the river channel. starting with the first trees on the south end. take your jig, and let it down slowly next to the tree, down to about 12'. if not bit lift up slowly, then to the next tree. there are enough trees to keep you busy. there is lots of brush in the copan point cove just out from the boat ramp, and in and around the swimming beach cove in 12FOW or less. drop shot some minnows down. PM for more info if interested.
