7-3-14 Thr

7-3-2014 Thr. 730PM-1130PM myself and Scott
Weather: W5, clear, 75˚
Water: 13.32 falling, 165kcfs, 74˚, dingy
Where: Mississippi R. Pool 7
Caught: Bait: bluegills, no flat heads

Comments:

Scott had the idea for a flat head fishing trip and I went along with it. I had told myself a couple of days earlier that I was not going to go out flat head fishing again until the river stage was below ten feet. But, an invite change that attitude.
I was not expecting to catch any flat heads, and that is exactly what happened. Scott did have one bite, but he missed that fish. We were able to catch our bait out on the man made islands, and we were thankful for that.

Observations:

The river has finally crested and is now slowly receding. The destruction out on the islands from all the high water is easily visible in the form of all the new trees that are in the process or have already fallen into the swollen river.
