Worse than the Corona Virus, I got the Skunk Today!
 

Had a couple hours free today and I have been itching to get my new kayak wet so I hit the river to see if some pike wanted to play. I was surprised that the water temp was only 40. I threw streamers with my fly rod and only saw one pike follow the streamer just I as I pulled it out to recast.

Did see a mink and a bald eagle so not a bad few hours.

pike and pickerel were good today, but only in some spots while the majority of stretches are low action.

I guess once bait starts getting scattered the pike will too? (amateur speculation)

You can survive gettin a skunkin but you may not surrvive the Corona Virus.

That's my guess too. I didn't see any bait fish swimming around at all. I thought that maybe they would have moved up into the shallow water to get some warmth from the sun.
