Dropped flows

Fortunately a section of river opened up enough to fish so i took a drive to check it out. it poured down rain the whole drive there till i was about a mile out then i didnt see rain till i was done fishing and almost back to my jeep, then it rained the whole way home. the water was pretty good but the fishing was slow. moved around 8 fish, couple of above average fish but only landed 1 average fish. good to get out and walk a river again since our rivers have been flooding for awhile now

Scouting Run

Headed over to one of our more local lakes to see if ice off had begun yet. nope, she was still all locked up. you could see that the shoreline in some spots were thinking about it but it was still all iced over. i went and looked at the spill way and some of the upper creek. saw some decent fish and a bunch of smaller risers. i threw a small streamer to start with but no action. decided to switch to a bobber (disgusting word) and nymph type shit. caught a little brookie on a balance leech. i love the drive up there cause once you get off the hwy there usually some good wildlife action to see. on this drive there was a bald eagle right off the road snacking on some dead critter then i saw a big Tom strutting his stuff for the ladies
