That looks like tough fly fishing country. Always love the Rio pictures. Glad you had some fun catching. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Metal Man and Jamie for the replies. Jamie: Yes Sir that would be some very rough fly conditions for sure. I call it "close quarters fishing"!

Metal Man: For me a bottom technique is fishing a bait (worm) off of the bottom. Several techniques can be used such as bouncing the worm off of the bottom. Retrieving the worm at different speeds while it is on the bottom,or just letting the worm stay on the bottom. The more you fish for bigger sunfish (which usually stay on the bottom),the better you will get. Side Note; Bottom fishing changes a lot depending on several factors. Type if water body,how many snags are on the bottom,water depth,weather conditions,and water conditions . Also bottom conditions such as grass,weed,rock,etc.

Nice post Chuck. These temperatures are taking their toll on myself and Jeff! Doing a lot of very early morning trips. Bite is still good on the east end! Still getting good numbers of Crappie. How has the Crappie bite been for you this summer?

Nice catching, Chuck! Looks like a good place for bow and arrow casts with a short tenkara rod. Bob

Thanks Curtis,Bob,and fish 'till I drop for the replies. Curtis I have not targeted Crappie much this summer. The ones I have been catching have been in 15 to 20 feet of water by structure. Bob: Creek fishing can be some very "close quarter" type fishing. Lots of flipping in stead of casting for sure. I do go through lots of hooks and sinkers while fishing the creeks. fish 'till I drop: I am very lucky to have gotten permission to fish the places I fish! Since I mainly bank fish every spot I have to fish is very important to me. I am very happy that they have kept producing nice fish over the years.

Nice post and fish Chuck! Looks like some very tight space fishing. Have you been seeing any snakes?

Thanks Gitter for the reply So far only water snakes in the creeks. You really need to be watching your steps while walking the banks and paths.

Is that the creek I fished with you? If so, I donated close to a dozen flies to the trees, but did get a record out of it!
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart
