Headed out this Am, 2 generators online at the dam, some 30 miles down river the higher water had not yet reached there.

left the jacket at the truck made the 5 mile run up river and started catching fish one cast after another on a CD-3 Rapala, later switched to the White River Wonder lure, its larger and smaller fish dont hit it. caught a nice 2 lb Largemouth bass, 1/2 mile down river caught its twin! Now they tell me the river is to cold for largemouth bass and in the cold water bass dont hit artificial lures well. They fought hard too so me thinks people dont know crap about river bass.

About half way back to the ramp drift fishing a huge brown trout slammed my lure tried not to pressure him, but he made a run and jumped and the lure slammed me right in the left eye and on the nose. Thank God I was wearing my sunglasses!!!!

Did catch a 22 inch female spawned out brown lots of smaller brown trout 17 browns, 2lmb and 7 rainbows not a bad afternoon!!

This after finding a freezer half thawed and fixing that mess
