I don't think water clarity was a factor for me. In fact I caught more in the muck. I know I was over the 25 mark. Smallest was 14" and that was one. The rest were 18" and over.
Plus with an intermediate line in clear water you would have to be casting long distances to avoid spooking.
East Portal is free so it just flat out gets pounded super hard. I quit fishing there entirely till snow flies.
Getting a fast sinking line is going to help your game.
Funny thing, two weekends ago I was catching over 50 fish in 25' to 15' of water, last week it was 20 to 30 feet, this week 30 to 40 feet. Not saying they are not in closer as I saw one or two being caught, but I was doubling up in the 40. Even at DC.
