Never been on the river but find clear water and you’ll find fish. Spring tributaries, slack water, etc.

Worms would work, if you want to go that route. Poppers that create a lot of surface disturbance would be what I'd start out with though, just because I think it's more fun.
There will be lots of pockets of slack water below cliffs to concentrate on, even with the high water.

You think poppers would still work without vis? What about fly poppers?

I doubt visibility will be bad enough close to the banks in the slower sections that Chug Norris wouldn't work. I bet fly poppers would still do okay too. Definitely worth bringing and trying, but maybe keep a can of worms on hand or some stinky little Gulp baits as backup.

Definitely bringing worms, if for nothing else than trying to catch a catfish at dusk.

The high water will make it tough, don’t be afraid to throw into any flooded grass or brush. Poppers will work.
Keep an eye on your GPS, the daughter, SIL and Grand Daughter did that float last year in high water, shot through so fast they spent an extra day at the takeout. They did see folks catching fish in the eddies. Biggest problem for them was finding campsites and places to to beach.

That regulation really pissed me off. We use a five gallon bucket with toilet seat on it.

C’mon man. You know there’s only one shit disposal expert on this forum. The rest are amateurs.
I have no help for you at all, but really looking forward to a story upon your return. Sounds like a great time. Have a safe trip!

If you are going on a lot of trips something like this might be a good investment…

Why’s it only rated for 60 uses?
I’d rather burn bags and than spend half a rack on 60 uses.
Imagine that thing brewing in the sun after 2 days of catfish and coors light.

Are you supposed to dump it out after 60 uses or throw it away?

If you go the selway route, I’d highly recommend carrying a couple extra o-rings for the pressure relief valve.
I’ve heard tales of them blowing out the day after chilli max night.
It’s similar to the inertia valve on specialized brain suspension.

Correct 60 uses, so ~ family of 4 for a week with a healthy margin of error.
You empty it when you get back to civ.
Bigger parties would need multiple.

This is the one I’ve used, good for 10 people for a week.
I would bet places that rent rafts rent these so maybe an option.

I just don’t rust that proprietary pressure release valve.
I’d much rather see a standard valve with remote lockouts.
