Tailwaters

[Stump bumper]

Took a trip to Holiday Island hoping to get out of the warm water and see some activity in the cool water. Generation was from 1pm to 7pm so thought it would be easy fishing. To my surprise there were people playing all the way down to Houseman's along with kids riding jet skies that were way to young to be alone. Lots of pontoons packed full of sight seers running at full speed though the river. I fished 57 degree water back to 72 degree water and caught one good trout and few dink bass. Talked to other fishermen on the river and they had about the same luck. No big shad stunned by the cold water like I am used to seeing in Aug, lots of very small shad in balls so there has been some spawning. Water was very muddy for that area due to high boat traffic washing mud off the shore. Maybe when school starts it might pick up again.

Stump, once I get my boat, we'll have to tag team the lake the way we've done in the past. I'm sure beaver is biting some where.

Good job on the trout though. I love catching them.   Trout was my first fish ever caught.
