If you look out into the river current when the suckers are schooling before the spawn and you have a treble hook out there, you can’t see it very well.

If there's plenty of water, they move up the tributaries and streams at the slightest warming of the currents that call them.

My grandfather, who always lived out in the woods or on the creek somewhere, sawed the top out of medium-sized trees up about twenty feet from the ground, to create a flat landing place for the great horned owl, and then would set a steel trap there, and bait it with a wood rat or small squirrel.
