Went to Round Valley last night and caught a few fish. Only one keeper catfish, a decent brown bullhead a little over a pound. Also caught two largemouth bass (on crankbait when sun was setting) and one other bullhead and released those.


I'm thinking if i try a different location at round valley i might get more action, or maybe i should go over to Spruce Run.

I think Spruce would hold more catfish. I haven't really fished for cats lately but when i did i noticed they like shallower/muddier water. Spruce looks like a perfect spot for them
