8-1

If I lived anywhere near it, I wouldn't bother fishing anywhere else.

8-1

Post by Norm Minas »

River is still well below normal flow, water temps high 70's.

I fished an area where a pipeline goes under the river, faster flow, lots of boulders and rock piles out to about 2/3 of the way over the river. There are some deeper than usual spots in this area.

Basically, working a crankbait againnst the current thru the current seams on either side of the boulders/rock piles. i also let it sit and vibrate at the front of the boulders/rockpiles.

One channel cat a bit over 31 inches, 3 walleye biggest 28 inches and 5 smallmouth biggest 19.5 inches.
What a long, strange trip it still is .

Put a glide in your stride, a dip in your hip and come onto the mother ship .

I'm supposed to be getting, using and reviewing a bamboo fly rod real soon.

Thinking of hitting the Kank with it for shits and giggles in a couple of weekends. I only know Warner Bridge to Area 7.

Worth the trip you think?

I always seem to catch something in that stretch.
