Pacemaker Fishing Forum

With all of our rain and with more forecast for the next 3 days, I am wondering about how the fish relate. Assuming the river levels are safe to fish, do you think that the catch rate for smallies on either the Potomac or the Shenandoah is impacted by the clarity of the water? I've heard that it's easier to catch fish when the water is muddy, and I've also heard the opposite. Also do you guys think that the fish are more affected by the muddy water or by the higher water levels?
