We would get some decent ones in the deeper holes. Slow the retrieve down and let the spoon sink. We tried different colors but always went back to the silver Little Cleo. Some days you lose half a dozen due to snags. Some days you lose none but you only have to carry one type. A couple of years ago I snagged on some fishing line. I was able to put my feet down and walk over. The line was attached to a brand new Bass Pro ultra light rod and reel. I got that and the kicker was that there was a trout on the end of it's line. The float tube allowed you to stop in areas and make multiple casts.
