Seriously, the AF rarely runs enough water in the spring to get the fish to move up into it, but this year is one of those years, and it's a lot of fun. Several bottlenecks only a dozen yards wide, and the channel is pretty obvious most of the way, so the casting/fishing is pretty easy. Sunday the water will actually probably be a little too high and definitely pretty muddy, but that's like a dinner bell. They'll be in there, and hungry. I just have to size up a little, put heavier eyes on my flies to get them down in that fast water. The fish will do the rest.
I went a couple weeks ago when there was just enough flow, and stuck at least 30 fish, landed 16? 6-8 white bass/wipers, two small stripers, one 2.5-lb. LMB, one 5-lb. cat, and three common carp. Four break-offs using 12-lb. test, so a couple lunkers in there I didn't see. |
Wow, really sounds like they're bunched up in in that thing... thats krazy action
Love fishing small waters like that, the fish are so much easier to locate
Just find those deep pools and hit' em hard
