We had a downpour rain in the morning. I fished early afternoon and the creek was fast and muddy. Should have turned and left, but I fished anyway.
Caught 4 fish.
Gar were in the clearest water around.

Looks like you did very well, especially considering the conditions you were fishing. Well done!

Thanks Jim!
Conditions changed again. Now the creek is 12' above normal! Deeper water, muddy, fish spread out. I'm looking forward to the creek returning to normal.
Caught 2 gar.

Then visited 2 new-to-me lakes. Got skunked at one, caught a bass and bluegills at the other.

More rain after I got home, and more in the forecast.
This was cool:

Haven't checked out the forums in a long time. I thought that you were in IA? Probably been gone for years and like I said haven't been around in a while. Always enjoyed your grass carp adventures. Haven't chased carp yet this year, I should get out and give them the business. Hope all is well.

Cool business with the gar too. Nicely done.

Hello, Clay! Yes, I moved from Iowa to Missouri just about a year ago. Still learning the fishing down here. I look forward to seeing some new carp posts from you! :)
