Cast upstream and let out a big bow of line, same as uptiding in the sea.

If it's a small river are you keeping as much line out of the water as possible, right into the slack if possible, rod tips high? That's about your only option, I would say washing line if you can get to the other side but if expecting lots of bites it's not really viable.
I think you've already identified the situation, you have to fish to the conditions with the right equipment, heavier leads might mean heavier rods.
Are you sure you can't 'lob' larger weights? It's often done on rivers, as it's a small river you're not casting as such I assume.

Im just starting my river fishing journey, im fishing a small local river that is quite flooded and had problems as i cant hold bottom as expected with my 1oz feeder.
Im using a feeder rod so cant put 4oz on.
Every time i cast to far marging where the flow looked slower it would just bow round and end near marging.
Im fishing bread, meat and maggots going for chub and barbell but will take anything that comes my way.
Is there something i can do other than whip out my carp rods!?
