It Can't Always Fish Well

Me and dbone fished low today since the water was looking quite nice. aside from me losing a slab, it was quite slow. i landed one and dbone landed two.

Post Rain

The rains the other night brought the rivers and up and stained them again. fishing was short and other then 1 fish, unproductive.

Productive Day

I got word that the upper river had come up since i fished it a couple of weeks ago so i drove up to check it out. we had some good rain last night so i was expecting it to be a little staind. as it turned out it had not come up a bit and was very clear. a lot lower then i like but since i was there i decided to hit it anyway. the fishing was still pretty good but with the river that low there was a lot less water to hit and thru that section pretty quickly. i decided to drive back down river where i had seen the water was a little staind and up a smidge. there was someone already parked where i wanted to fish so i hit the water below him. it fished really well.

An Afternoon with Dbone

I was gonna pursue some tiger musky but dbone called me and wanted to chase trout so we streamered some trout.

More of the Same

Meaning more streamers in my back yard. got into a few nice fish and even hooked my dumb ass dog. he just can't resist trying to eat my streamer when it's dangling in the air. i am constantly telling him NO but he ended up getting a hold of it today. i don't think he liked that but it didn't deter him from trying over and over again to get it.

A Quick Minute

Had a bunch of shit to do today so made it a short day. the water was up quite a bit and colored some but manageable. managed to land a couple including one that went 21". got into a couple others that were in the 20" mark but could not keep them on.

Still no Water

Went out to try a different section today and as it turned out, there wasn't a whole lot of water moving thru. figured i could still move some fish where there was water, but only moved 3 fish, landing one. i was hoping to get  a full days worth of test driving some joe willauer streamers (evolution anglers), but with the water conditions it was an incredibly short day.
