Riverview To 19

[eric1978]

Floated from Riverview Access to Hwy. 19 yesterday. Fishing was tough. Threw everything I had at 'em. Flukes, spinnerbaits, cranks, jerks, Senkos, jigs. Only caught 11 total including a big rock bass. Only 3 smallmouth. One small spot. Biggest fish a largemouth just shy of 15". Most productive lure was the fluke. The leaves are beginning to be a problem for hooky baits.

I was a little preoccupied playing with the new canoe, but I did hit some really juicy looking areas pretty hard with little results. If I hadn't been under time constraints I probably would have worked them harder with a jig. Caught the most fish in the fist half of the float.

Certainly didn't have the day Al had on the same stretch a few weeks ago. I think the fish are going into that weirdo fall transition period, or maybe it was just a bad day.

The river was pretty with the leaves starting to turn. Only saw two rafts of folks picking up trash on the river. No other fishermen seen. Saw a beaver and some turtles. Things are starting to slow.....

Sounds like a nice day, sorry the fishing was slow.
