08.22.22010 Fishing Report

Put in a 9:00 am Sunday morning and fished/floated until 3:30 or so. fishing was good but nowhere near and hot as it has been the past 2 weeks. I caught and released 32 smallmouths. I pulled in quite a few nicer fish than is typical on a float of this length. Friend that went with me flyfished and caught tons of bluegill and longear sunfish on a popper fly. He even caught a handful of northern hogsuckers on the popper as well. All in all a good day to be on the water. A few pics below:

Nice fish. How was the flow? I heard they've quit floating Big Sugar because the water is so low. Or at least the outfitters won't put anyone on it.

flow is the lowest I've seen this year. I was in my lightweight one man canoe and the other guy in a kayak. We drug bottom in several places but not enough to make it miserable. I'd imagine this weekend it will drop even more.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

It's a trickle in some places from what I saw. Same goes for some of the other stream around too.

I tell ya what though....if any of you guys are into suckers - there are a ton of them moving in the streams right now. I've never done the gigging thing, but might give it a try next month.
