The only pool still holding fish had fish there were not active at all. They were extremely spooked and you cannot even drift something to them without having them avoid your line or even completed swim away.

It's pretty much done. The rain we'll get tomorrow will push most of them back to the lake.

With the warm weather last week, the river had warmed up quickly...They won't be around in June. We'll be lucky if they are around for one more week...but those are stragglers and they are tougher to catch. Might as well fish for something else now.

I wouldn't say that. I've seen a decent amount of fish at my local river still and the past week I've been catching them in gin clear when I was standing right in front of them and today I caught one on my second cast on the fly with a 6 ft leader. I definitely wouldn't say give up yet they've been biting great for me and the numbers are still there. Just fish closer to the lake and you'll find more.
