Jeffrey-it is an old limestone quarry so gravel and solid stone.in other areas they spawn on top of solid stone ledges next to steep dropoffs

that water is over 6ft deep.started with a small popper and switched to a little tung bead jig fly.sz12 barbless hook.heavy enough to get just above the beds but still light enough to strip it slowly without hangup
