Took a look at Eagle Rock area this morning, WOW!!!! What a brown poop hole? So damn tainted. Took a couple casts with giant lures and said screw it, I'll go to work for a change. Why so dirty? WTF???

Fished the river in Wayne today and it has gotten a lot clearer since I last fished on Sunday.

Its very close to usual mid-summer levels.

Thats basically what we did on Tues Eddie. Launched the boat in the low chocolate milk took a cruise upstream, put in a few casts and called it quits early. I dont understand why its so dirty.

I usually prefer artificials, but my kid wouldn't be happy if I stole his rubber ducky.

You wanna try white or grey? Maybe get both and see which works better.
