Fished a section of river that gets less attention due to the distance between put ins and take outs. It was a weird day. Smallies were chasing the biggest flies but would not commit. We threw the small stuff at them and they wouldn't even look at them. I'm sure that a large jerkbait would have absolutely slayed those fish but neither of us brought any gear.
Still we managed to get some nice Bass.
The Smallies were there and I suspect a little more warm temps will make them alot more hungry. We floated from 9am to about 6pm in fast, and rough in a few places, river. Finally we ran into civilization and some struck up a conversation with some guy working on his dock. When he heard where we put in he asked how we planned to get back to the truck. We said we're running back. He laughed at us and said he'd be glad to give us a ride. We insisted we could make it, but thanked him for the kind offer. He gave us the "well,,,,, good luck",, and waved us on.
We had to run back in pretty low light which makes reading the water a bitch if you don't know where you are. We managed to make it back with time to spare. Even had time for Dave to get one last fish right as the black settled over the green river. I'm loving this new lens!!
Ya'll enjoy this cold TN weekend coming up, Dave and I are heading to Steelie country!
