Bourbeuse At Mayers Landings

Today I fished at the Mayers Landing access to the Bourbeuse River. I was using live bait, and got completely skunked. The river was mostly ice free, and I did manage to see a huge flathead catfish, but I couldn't get him to hit my nightcrawlers. It was a really nice day all in all though, on one of my favorite rivers.

Today did turn out alot nicer than the Weather Gods predicted for today. I volunteered at a Gun Shop today and was indoors most of the time. It got up to 47 here and the wind died down after noon. I am getting out in the morning for a little squirrel hunting.

Even on a nice day, water temps really slow down the fishing. They don't feed much as their metabolism slows.

Sorry, I just read this. yeah I agree that I was pretty sure there wouldn't be anything biting. I was just looking for a nice day on the river. I don't know what it is about the Bourbeuse for me, it's nothing terribly special, but I just really like it. I guess it might be because its so uncrowded. At any rate, it was a good day fishing, the catching was just not so hot.
