Quick Trip

[OzarkFishman]

We got to the creek around 5:30 Wednesday night. I was throwing a 3" slider (pumpkinseed w/ black flake) and my two friends were throwing swimming minnows. With the storm moving in I thought the fish would be aggressive. On my 3rd cast, I caught a 14" smallmouth. Then, quickly picked up 2 good-sized bluegill. Still on the same slider, I picked up a dink largemouth just off of a downed tree. The other guys were catching some largemouth as well (all dinks). It was about 6:15, and I hooked into a good fish. I figured it was another smallmouth, but it ended up being a pretty nice 14" rainbow. Not huge, but it had some girth and since I don't trout fish much it is my personal best. Finally, about 6:45 one of the guys picked up a white bass (male). It was the only one of the night. We had to leave around 7 after a lightning bolt got a little too close for comfort.

Beaver should start heating up fairly quickly. Some spots are probably hot right now.

Good fishing,
