Yeah, that river can be great fishing one day then crazy high for over a month at a time. The worst yr. I remember was 1972?? when Agnus hit. Ruined my summer & no lakes close by for a kid. We did very well for Eyes 70's & 80's from boats lock 2 & 3 areas. A bad fish kill (just Eyes) around 1975 below lock 3 on Plub Boro side set things back at lock 2 for awhile. Just hated when chemical spills would kill the fishing for sometime.
Early 70's was great L/M fishing with nice weed beds but very few S/M. Then a chemical spill killed the baitfish. After a couple yrs. the Smallies took over, spill didn't effect the Crayfish.
Wish I knew then when the river is super high makes honey hole areas. Only fish it a couple times a yr. anymore from shore, lots of snags but fish to be caught.
Have a good time with your daughter even though she will probably out fish you!
