Been hitting my locals for a few weeks and keyed into a section full of monster bronzebacks, and numbers of fish in excess of 200 per day are realities. Topwater popping bug has been red hot some evenings.

There was a nice ledge towards the top, the water was too deep to even see the bottom. I hooked up with the biggest smallie i've ever seen, but it managed to throw the hook. I managed to find another beast within 10 minutes- hell of a fish, hell of a fight.

The bite was ceased by some idiots floating this bony ass river in a canoe and hitting every rock in sight. Don't know why some people dig wet hikes this time of year. b'; Hightailed it back to my truck to catch the evening bite, landed this huge bucketmouth

I was born by the river in a little tent, And just like the river I've been running ever since, It's been a long, long time coming, But I know change is gonna come.
