These fish will last if they can find a good hole. If they drew the short straw and were thrown in a duck pond, they died months ago. I caught 2 hold over fish on opening day last year. Your best chance to finding these fish, get away from fishing under the bridges, move up or down stream, get away from where the people lazy fish!
