Schitzo don't fish the Carbon,not because of the crowds too many snaggers,fished the Pu. river a little have pulled fish out about 50% of the time, the king run is over on the Pu. river though. My method on the Pu. is to fish it down low on the out going tide by plunking use a LARGE spin & glow with bait and scent I don't drift fish it because of the color you were talking about the fish gotta see your offering to hook up.
