I was there a couple of days ago and the there was barely any flow to the river. Saw a couple of schools go by in a few hours of fishing but they were locked jawed. I suspect the super low water level made them a bit spooky. It didn't help that a guy was wearing neon orange and a pink baseball cap was fishing across the river from me. Only thing missing is the guy didn't shine high powered laser beams at the fish. I suspect fly fishers would have had better luck since they can make tiny presentations.
I used spinners, Colarado blades, spoons, kwikfish, shrimp, plastic scented eggs, and every other lure in my kit and the fish weren't interested in any of it. I saw a half dozen fly fishers and they didn't get a bite either.
Moved around to a few pools hoping a couple of fish were sitting in there. Nothing.
I'm waiting for another rain to try two things I haven't tried yet. The rain got the water level up to 2 on the kayak cam but it dropped fast and the fish blitzed through.
Only fish I saw caught was by a guy snagging in the rapids near the Cable pool.
