I had an itch to try for flatheads tonight, so I had to scratch it! The river is definitely looking like it is starting to turn to its fall mode. The weeds are dying and thank goodness the flow is where it should be this time of year, low!
To catch bait I went back to a spot where I did not have any trouble last week catching gills and crappies, but it was a different story this week. I was able to get bait alright but the size and quantity was on the downhill slide.
For flatheads I set up in two different spots in Somners. In both spots I was fishing in about twenty to twenty five feet of water, with much deeper water very close. I was able to catch one fish at each spot.
