Comments

It has been almost a week since I was last out, and I finally started to miss it. I have been so busy prepping for a possible bear hunt, that I have not thought much about fishing. I thought tonight was going to be a good night; we had light rain and no wind. The bluegills cooperated, but the flat heads did not. I really should not complain though, we did catch two and we probably missed another four bites. The fish just did not seem to be that aggressive.

Observations:

The river is turning a little greener every day, it is not bad but it is noticeable.
