The river is very high, dark, and very cold.
I caught three fish in an hour swinging an olive wooly bugger in areas where fast water tapers off into slow water that doesn't circulate back upstream.
It is a great time of year to have the river to yourself and catch fish. Lots of areas like I mentioned above close to the shore and hold fish.
Bobber fishing will probably be more productive than the swing, which is normally the case in high water.
Note - Dirt roads in certain stretches may have washed out. Take it slow and let someone who where you are going. Cell service along the river can be spotty.
