Comments

I did a quick recon mission behind the house tonight. I wanted to see if any fish had moved back into the bay next to the landing on account of the dropping water. After five minutes of being fish less, I had my answer.
I switched to the south side of the landing and was fishing in a little more current. I was able to catch a few fish, but it was pretty slow. In the short amount of time I fished I caught three different species of the finned critters.
Observations
The water is dropping at a steady rate, and it is pretty clear. The boat ramp is still unusable, but I think in another day the ramp will be useable. I still have a little bit of snow on the ground behind the house where it had slid off the roof and accumulated in piles.
