Probably head out there in an hour or so. Even if the water is too muddy, I don't mind just getting some air. I don't always get a chance to get out with work and health stuff but always feel blessed when I can.

I will more than likly go out there in about an hour or so. Waiting on wife to return home so I can take a grandkid qith me. We could use some dirty water, as it was, it was to clear. Fish would approach my bait and turn on it instead of grabbing it. But when I saw them doing this, I changed baits and the bite was on. I put on a flea fly jig, different shape and look.

Fished with the professor himself today (fishytx). I ended up with 9 for the day. Fishytx caught around 20 but kept around 10.

The river came up about 4 inches from that rain. Good water flow right now. Water color is a little dingy, just right. Took my great grandson with me and he caught his first fish. He wanted me to take it off his hook, but I told him he needs to learn how to do this on his own as well. So I walked him trough it and he did it by himself. He was so proud of himslef and that was the goal I had in mind. He wants to go back again today, but I woke up with this horrible back ack. So we will see. I might go buy some minnows for him to fish with today, that way he can a few more and really get the fishing fever.
I measured his fish for him and was praying it would be legal. It was barely over ten inches so we were able to put his fish on the stringer. He really is showing a lot of interest in fishing, he even stayed right there with me while I cleaned them, asking all kind of questions, playing with fish eye balls and the guts. Asking about the bones, gills and fins on the fish.
He's 11 years old and he loves the outdoors. Never once complained, all he wanted to do is catch a fish or two. He kept the rod and reel in his hand and made cast after cast. He did return one time to tell me he slipped and fell in the water, but I didn't baby him, I showed him how to read the bank and pick a safe way to enter the warter and then wade to the spot he wants fish. I told him we all had to learn this on our own and all of us have slipped and fell a few times. But you learn from your own mistakes.

Back to fishing. Today there should be a better bite than yesterday. The strike zone will be bigger is all. The water will clear up and the fish can see further, which makes a anglers strike zone larger. Tuesday next week should be a great day, right before another weather change.
I caught 20 yesterday and we took home 10 for the hot oil.

Great story and report, Fishytx. Glad you were able to take your grandson out fishing. Sounds like he had a blast.

Ran up Saturday afternoon by boat, mostly fished downstream of the steps. Lots of fish caught, lots of fish released, lots of fish boxed. Did get a few nice larger fish.

I have a bad fishing report. The water is lower than all get out. The fish have vanished. I have never seen fishing this bad for spawning whites at this time on March. They should be in there doing their thing by the boat loads, but they are not. I fished yesterday afternoon and caught 6 whites, 4 blacks, and 3 perch. We need some rain in the worst way, there is no water flow. Just a trickle. These fish have spawned a little, but so many have yet to do so. The females I cleaned I checked the egg sacks. They are not fully developed so there is no way they have spawned. Out of all the fish I have cleaned, one of the bigger female egg sack was ready to spawn, one, that's it. So why have all the fish left the river? I don't know, this is a first for me. In fifty years I have never seen something like this occur. Rule of thumb is, the best white bass bite occurs in the second and third week of March. I even stayed later yesterday than I normally do so I could watch schools of fish swim upstream in some shallow water like they are supposed to do if they are in there. Well, I did not see one fish swim through there, not a one. And this area is known to be the hot spot as the sun is going down, but no fish showed up at all. I know there are fish staging in deeper water, but I'm not sure what it will take to catch them. Even the fish I caught yesterday were small, not worth the time and effort. You can tell when there is no fish at the steps by the amount of vehicles parked when you arrive. Yesterday there was about a third of vehicles and when I saw this my first thought was no fish. But I walked the river anyway.

Interesting report, fishytx. I wonder if the run is finishing earlier this year because the amount of warm days?
