Dirty water river
 
I just started fishing the Susquahanna river out of the Pittston launch
here in Pa.

the water is like chocolate milk, maybe 1-2 foot visibility.

It holds smallies, muskie, asst. cats for the most part.

I've had some success throwing char/white willowleaf spinnerbaits
with large gold blade and silver secondary blade. Took a few smallies
and got bit off by a muskie. Seems like thats all they wanted last weekend.

What would you throw?

Thanks,

Dave V

--------(to which Joe replied)-------

Or, if that doesn't produce the intended results, you could try black,
bulky, slow-moving lures.... black worms, black plastic stick baits, black
jigs, black spinnerbaits.... anything that can move slowly and create a high
contrast to the surrounding water seems your highest probability. If you
choose spinnerbaits, you might consider a copper blade or a tandem
copper/black or gold/black configuration.

That's clear water here - right now from all the rain you can't see a
spinnerbait down 2 inches in some of our lakes.

Ronnie,

I was going to say the same thing, 2' vis would be considered clear here
on Winnebago.
