Local Walmart sells an apple variety called Envy. I'm riding the diet train so I'm eating a lot of fruit and vegetables. Had a lot of apples lately and the Envy ones are pretty darn good. They are a sweet apple, so if you like tart apples you probably would not like this variety. Anyway, I like them and will be getting more.
Those fish are funny, I got bites on the Ned but could not hook them. The few that I caught on it were little males guarding nests. They whacked that 2.8 however.
Had some wind, few limbs down, but nothing major. Power stayed on here, but a couple of miles away the Walmart and the businesses around it lost power, don't know for how long.
For my part, being that a lot of the fish on Beaver have recently spawned, it would be good if the lake stays up for fry survival. But don't want to see another round of flooding. Looking for some middle ground, not that the weather gives a hoot as far as what I want.
I wonder if they still manage the river to keep below the levels at the Newport gauge. Gauge is showing the river at 24 feet.
15 April – 7 May : Regulate to 14 feet except, regulate to 21 feet from 15 April through 30 April, and 18 feet from 1 May through 14 May, if the 4-lake system flood storage exceeds 50% full.
I don't know if the regulation plan above is the current one.
More rain in the forecast this week.
Couple of weeks ago we got into the whites on Beaver, non-stop action for about an hour and a half. Good ones too. Went back to that spot a week ago and they were gone.
Congrats on some good fishing!
Forgot to add that you're not the only one experiencing tough fishing on TR. Couple of old timers that I know that have been fishing that lake for years say this is one of the toughest springs they've seen.
Gald to hear you got into them Cal. It really is a great place to fish, scenic and some fun fish to catch. Should be some stripers showing soon, so if you come back, keep a top water on the deck.
I have not been over that one lane bridge in several years. Once you get going over it towing a boat, there's no turning back.
They were biting yesterday. Most of my fish came on the little 2.8 swimmer. I did catch some on the Ned, but they were running smaller on the Ned and tended to be nest guarding males. There are fish spawning, water temps were 66-68.
My best one of the day, 18". Don't know if it is a spawned out female or a male.
Black spot on the back.
Nest guarder.
A pretty keeper smallmouth,
