buzzboat, you are right from an opportunists perspective, this means it's time to grab a 6 pack of beer and watch fighting for fish at B/C.
I know the Cow well enough to have all of the holding water, rocks, stumps , trees (except for the ones that might have moved or came down with the current high water) so that’s not a problem. “I know a lot of you probably like straight up the middle ( you loose a lot less gear, less bank maggot action), but as far a fish catching action goes fish the edges.” FYI I fish the edges, seams 90% of the time and rarely down the middle, as far as loosing gear goes you have to loose it in the rocks, stumps etc. if you want to catch fish oh yes I said catch fish legally ~ not floss them.
