I've heard that the weirs are productive. Are they good most anytime or just when water coming through? Also when you say birds working are you talking about diving into the water feeding or what. I'm using power pro line, do I need a florocarbon leader and if so how much and what strength would you recommend.

Birds are working ( diving chasing shrimp) that time of year. Should have no problem finding birds on west bank near where you are staying that time of year. No need for fluorocarbon when birds working. It's a reactive bite and will bite almost anything when fishing under the birds. Stop a good ways out and troll into the birds, if birds stay together then fish are easy to locate. Good luck
