Beetle Mania

Me and pat hit some uncharted waters today. we started in a section that we had fished before but were cut off by people so we only fished about 1/2 way up. we walked back to the truck and drove upstream. it seemed like every swinging dick was out today. this was water that neither of us had fished before and finding a little solitude was taxing but we finally found a little piece and a nice piece it was. the fish weren't as big upstream but it was non stop action for those cutties. we both ended up settling with different beetle patterns since the fish seemed to be going crazy for them. most of the fish were in the 10-11 inch range but a few 14's were had. the day started off slow down low but really picked up once we drove higher.
