I see you are new! Welcome!!! Put in at Bucksaw, or Sparrowfoot, fish between the two. Fish any creek or deep cut, fish 10-14' deep in 10-20 FOW in front of spawning banks. Color has not mattered to us as long as we had a minner on it to. Lots using blk/char, blk/pnk, blue/white. Many catching fish without a minner to! I am sure there are other thoughts on this but this has been good to us! With the cold temps I don't look for it to change before Saturday! Hope this helps, and have fun with your dad while you can!!!!!!!!!
