If the water is still in the bushes then the fish will be there, too. Nutbushes work well on windy, cloudy days and the willows seem to hold them on sunny days. The bigger fish usually stay near the trunk and can be hard to get to so you will need heavy line and heavy weights to reach them. If the water is down, you will need to back off to more traditional post-spawn places. Good luck!AndyGreene Boat & MotorAndy Greene Greene Boat & Motor 828-286-2290 http://www.greeneboats.com
