I'm about to go fishing for smallmouth in the local river. It is kind of murky, medium-gradient river. Any tips?

Do other people catch smallmouth on this river?

Look through this section for a variety of suggestions.

Use dark colored baits like black worms and jigs because when fishing murky water its mostly about the profile of the bait. I've also had luck with a dark colored crayfish shad-rap. finally ask around what has been working and trust your instincts.

Fish eddies and anything that breaks the current. These are the places where they can ambush food effectively without consuming a lot of energy. Also topwater is pretty effective in stained water if the water is warm enough. I've caught em' this time of the year on topwater. Don't let anyone tell you that it won't work.
