Today was the best day for weather in about 4 days. The rain was more speratic, and the wind laid down. River levels went up last night, but they have started to recieed as the day went on. The Fishing on the other hand has been great. Another push of fresh fish has hit the system in the last couple of days, and they are on the bite. Still using the black jigs has been the most successful way to get these bright fish. After stopping in the first hole and coming up empty, we headed down to another hole that yielded 3 nice bright fish. We then continued on down the river to a spot I really like. This hole is back behind a log. When hooking a fish in this hole, you have to take control quickly, or the fish will go under the log, and snap on in seconds. As soon as the hook up happens, you have to bring the fish to the top and hold him there. When you get their head above the water, they will thrash and wear themselves out fairly quickly. After you have accomplished this, then you just have bring the fish up the log, then the netter has to been quick, before the fish turns and goes under the log. When it all works out though, the fisherman has the braggin' rights for the day. Only one of six fish are ever even brought close enough to the net to even have a chance at them. So with that said, here is the pic of the fish that came out from behind the log. He landed one of three, "Not to shabby".

Good luck out there!!
