Upper North Fork Fishing Report

[Riverwhy]

I waded the upper end of North Fork on Wednesday morning. Water is very clear and very low. It had been a couple of years since I had been there and the amount of gravel in the river was a little disconcerting.

I caught two 15 inch, one 14 inch and one 12 inch smallmouth. I caught several smaller smallmouth but not in the numbers that would be considered normal. Most of the smallies were caught on a tiny baby brush hog in watermelon red. The biggest fish was under a root wad and all the others were in fast water at the head of the hole.

The highlight was an 11.25 inch goggle eye caught on a yellow and green hot-n-tot. This fish was in the deepest part of the hole.
