a yearly hike

every august i try and hike around the res to fish the creek coming in. i made it around the res yesterday. the hike was pleasant but this year the fishing was off. the fish almost seemed non existant and only caught one fish about 4 inches. the fish are small in the creek anyway but most of the fish i usually catch there are around 8-10 inches. i lost interest after a couple of hours so i decided to hike my way back out and hit the river coming out of the res. it was slow as well but managed a few fish on some terrestrials. the highlight of my day was seeing a few bucks and a flock of turkeys on the drive up.

Soon Things Will Pick Up

Went out again today for a few hours and again i saw some really nice fish but neither of those would eat. i did come away with 2 fish and both of those were out of the same run.

Looking Fwd to Fall

it hasnt been a good summer of fishing for me and today was more of the same, although i was chucking meat this time and only caught one smaller fish but did turn a couple of really nice fish

The Slope

Me and scott made it over to the slope to fish a small stream with hopes of finding a bigger fish or two, bigger for this water that is (13-14 inches). we did not but the small fish gave us plenty of entertainment and the peace and quiet was extremely nice.
