Fishing Report 01/21

[Rico Deuce]

A couple buddies and I took advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday and floated from Lake Springfield Dam to 160. The water was incredibly low and we dragged quite a bit even in kayaks. Fishing was slow, but we managed to catch a few bass. I noticed they've posted a bunch of "No Trespassing" signs all around the entrance to the cave. There was one spot where the river was still frozen from bank to bank but luckily I was able to break through it with the kayak. Next time we're going to float from 160 to Delaware Town. Overall, I can't complain about being able to kayak in January.

What tricks are you using to stay dry?  I always get wet in a kayak .

Nothing special really. The drip rings on the paddles help keep them from dripping on you. I thought I'd have to get out and drag the kayak a few times, but managed to push and thrust my way through the shallow spots. I ended the float with dry feet.

I live about 1/4 mile south of the cave. Someone bought a big chunk of the property around that cave. Saw a guy painting purple paint on trees last week at the edge of my place last week. He has been running everyone off the place since last fall while his black Lab roams the neighborhood.

I hope he doesn't build a bunch apartments on the place. We see deer & turkeys almost every day.
