Flooding and fishing?

[wiperhunter2]

So I'm curious if fish migrate into flooded areas when water rises. I love fishing the bear river but with the recent flooding it makes accessing the main Chanel tough. So I'm curious. Do fish migrate in to the flooded areas around the river? Areas that are typically dry land.
Never really thought about it so I figured I'd see what you all think.

I have very little doubt that they do, because of the hope of something to eat. Remember, when water floods new land, it covers insects and worms that they will feed on.
