Decided to beat up the south branch and that I did,picked up 20+ bows from 14"-20".Fish were huggin the bottom and were aggressive putting up some drag pullin fights.Water was clear and low so you have to be stealthy to get um,I had to pitch my presentations from behind trees and crouching behind boulders.Lots of people fishin but not catching,I dont understand why people must stand in the middle of the stream when its clear and low.Leaves weren't to bad unless you were throwin spinners and plugs.I kept my first 3 fish for the table which took about 15min.....the fishin's good so get out there.

Good looking fish! VERY good point on people lacking stealthness. I see this while bank fishing AND boat fishing. Guys slamming the boat with their rods, dropping lead in the boat, being loud with the anchor. We are already at a disadvantage as we are in the fish's element; no need to make it more difficult!

I fished the musky yesterday near the mill, Skunked for the trout but caught a little bass. Then went under the 31 bridge and a little further up near one of the bridges off of musky road. Didnt see not even one trout swimming around but the water was a little off color, im assuming from the rain on monday.

Nice catch buddy!!! Looks like the rain gods are avoiding us again!!!

You will catch BUBBA again this year. Didn't you trade the fly rod for waders or something last year?
