For those that are proficient at murk water fishing these times can be some of the best of the season.
Fish tight to the banks, as in cast up stream and drift back towards yourself right on the edge, not feet from the edge but right on it.
you will lose gear
use big flies that move water, with low visibility fish rely on their lateral line to feel prey items in the water, you want to mimic those.
Big crane larva, big stones, big earth worms all will elicit a strike.
Myself I would be inclined to fish shiner and chub patterns on a full sink right, behind 18" of 25lb flouro.
Fish have to be evolutionarily prepared for periods of high flow and no visibility or they wouldn't be here now.
