broad river

I am coming up to lexington from charleston and would like to go cast for some smallies on the broad at the park near the dam. I was in town last week, but the river was chocolate milk. To you local columbians: how is the river looking right now? I know there was some hard rain on wednesday and was wondering if the river has cleared yet.

Another question: What lures would you use for the smallies? I was gonna throw a crank bait, spinner bait, and a zman crawdad on a jig head. Any other suggestions?

The Broad river is still very muddy.
When you speak of the dam are you talking about the diversion dam on the Broad at the canal park?
