This area (NW Missouri) just has muddy water...period! And the creek and river beds are all sandy and the run off comes through fields of black dirt. There are a few gravel bars here and there but they get hunted to death. If the water is much more then 2 inches deep you cannot see the bottom.
Great finds. Love the water shots. I have to say we have been flooded to the rim since mid -summer. Congratulations on your finds.
Happy Huntin
