Their Catching A Mixed Bag

[oneshot]

Went down to the river today. There was plenty of people there. They was catching Trout, Smallmouth, Goggle Eye and Crappie. Me I just caught four pretty good Rainbows and went home.

Hoping to catch some Smallmouth and Goggle Eye next week.

Since you said "trout and crappie" in the same sentence I assume you were at Barclay.

Believe it or not but no. Closer to the Park.

Interesting.  I've never seen crappie above Redbeards before.

Jim McGowin and I caught some crappie just below the wooden bridge in march years back. Back when you could still use modified flies in zone 3. We caught several and could see several more holding in one spot off the high bank.

Dad said they used to catch crappie up above Bennett and right at the boat launch but they got cleaned out once people knew. Hopefully they stick around

Yep, your dad fished that river more than anyone else I know. Most people never bothered to fish above like he did and especially  around the ramp. i think floods have changed that area over the past few years. I can recall Jim and I catching some nice browns and rainbows up by the old KOA in the 80's. Tell your dad I said hi.

Now you've got me trying to figure out who trythisonemv's dad is.   Surely I know of him.
