The wind decided to not beat us down yesterday as much as was forecast, and the fishing was pretty good to boot (on streamers!) with an unexpected visitor (as seen below) to the West Branch. Also as an FYI – the upper west is now CLOSED to all fishing to protect the spawning browns, but there were still plenty of active fish below monument pool. A few risers were found in the slower waters, when the wind laid down for a bit.
Wha-WHAT? That's right folks, Colin caught a Largemouth on the WEST BRANCH! This was a first for him, and everyone here at the DRC. Who says high water doesn't have some benefits? Photo by: Bruce Miller
