TR rarely gets muddy enough to throw a Colorado blade. Dave is spot-on with the Indiana and mag willow.

Even in the upper Kings and James arms, when it gets brown muddy, you are going to struggle. These fish don't spend a lot of time in muddy water and they don't seem to like it when it happens.

Best bet is to try and stay where you still have a couple of feet of visibility.

I actually prefer Indiana or Colorado blades when I am slow rolling a spinnerbait deep. When the "grub scrub" pattern is going I will slow roll an old Mann's Classic spinnerbait with the tandem blades. Usually catch better fish than using a 4 or 5" c-tail grub.

Very informative, thank you. 

I was just starting to redo my battle plan for fishing in 2 weeks.
Chocolate water needs a new strategy. 

I wouldn't plan on seeing chocolate water 2 weeks from now, unless we get another flood. Conditions will be totally different by than.
