Despite nearly saturated ground and following an overnight/morning rainstorm, I was alarmed that this small river was actually wadeable. This river has pretty much dried up a couple times during the summers in the last 4 years. By the looks of this, it will do so again this year. But for now, it was nicely wadeable and the fishing was as good as I've seen it, in terms of sheer numbers.
I flyfished for 5.5 hours and waded 0.75 miles of stream. I caught 42 Smallies, 3 Creek Chubs (a first on the fly rod for me), 2 Largemouth Bass, and one Green Sunfish.
Some of the fish came on a beadhead gold Woolly Bugger, but most of the fish were caught on an FC Pearl Shiner I had tied.






I got to watch a wild Turkey fly out of the top of a large oak tree on the top of a high bank next to the river, and fly across the river. Pretty cool. And technically I caught this "on" my fly rod, since it kept landing on it while I was fishing.
