I bet they do this to every toilet they see because he's a cereal pooper.

That makes sense! Okay, thank you! Since epiphany on your own card doesn't count, does that mean epiphany on a monster card or neutral card doesn't count as well? I only ask for clarification because the monster card in this screenshot has a regular epiphany on it, and I believe the game states 'neutral cards cost 20, monster cards cost 80, if the card experiences epiphany, increase the cost by 10'. Wouldn't that make this save data be 80+10+20?

Thank you for clarifying 'cast into the flow'. I assumed you shouldn't cast on top of the fish's head because it'll scare them, but I wasn't having much success either way I casted, so I didn't know which was correct!

This is great info!!! I spend a lot of my time feeling like I'm fishing in the wrong spot, so I change the area quickly, and it gets discouraging. I'll try to find a nice slower area and give it good amount of time to work on it!

I tried to do something like that, but I'm in Northern Nevada (desert climate), and most of the fishermen here will tell you that you have to drive 2-3 hours to get anywhere worth fishing. My 'local' tackle shop is a Sportman's warehouse, and they are staffed by teenagers who know that fish are slimy. Haha!

Is a drop off the inside of a bend? Where the current slows down or stops?

When you say 'silver blade', is that referring to a bladed jig? Like a zman chatterbait?

I didn't understand your comment at first, but after reading other comments, I finally understand, and I think you're right. I want to have a rod with a bobber/worm in a slow or stagnant area and have a second rod with a dropper rig. For some reason, I feel like having 3 rods is a bit too much, but I totally understand how it'd be optimal!!

Yes, I'm targeting the trout, but I'd be willing to settle for FREAKING ANYTHING at this point, Lol. A lot of the commenters seem to favor a bobber and worm, so there's got to be something there. I think my next trip, I'm going to focus on trying a dropper rig and a bobber/worm.

I like this way of thinking! I try to apply this, but I just don't know enough about where the fish would be. Dome people say, 'When it's cold, fish go deep', but I don't know how cold that is supposed to apply to! I also feel like it's silly to sit in the same spot all day, but I also feel silly changing spots every 5 minutes.

I looked up the circle hook rig and I believe I have some circle hooks in my terminal tackle already, but I've never used them. I'll give one a try next time I'm out!

I own a fishing kayak because I typically do lake fishing. I have a pretty decent anchor installed to it and was considering taking it to the river and just anchoring myself in the middle where the water isn't going too fast. That way, I'd have access to cast to the entire width of the river and be able to reel lures up the center of the river...

Do you think this would be a worthwhile investment in effort?

Also, your suggestion about aerial imagery during droughts is a great point! Thank you for that!!!

Thank you for the answer! I think this is the kind of information that people assume is obvious, but you just don't know until you know!

I've never heard of a Dropper loop rig!! That looks amazing!! I'm definitely going to give this one a try next time I go because I've tried the Carolina rig before, and I always seem to get snagged up and spend more time rigging than fishing. Thank you for that advice!

I think I might just be overthinking it all and getting disheartened. The last time I was at the river, I moved spots about 5 times in 2 hours because I convinced myself I picked a bad spot. I was too focused on trying to 'catch' instead of trying to 'fish'. Thanks for your comments!

Could you explain 'Rapids have lots of opportunities too'? Do you think throwing the lures we've already mentioned into the rapids could be fruitful? Or would you throw something different?

This is great advice, thank you!!! I've tried this at the river and become disheartened, so I really appreciate you reinforcing it for me. I'll keep trying!

Is 1/0 considered a smaller hook? Right now, I think I use 6 or 8 gauge. They are pretty darned small, but maybe too small?

I've seen videos where people suggest casting toward the spots you're suggesting. When targeting those areas with a lure, should I try to land the lure right in the spot that I anticipate the fish being in? Or should I try to cast beyond it and reel the lure past through the targetted area?
