            Thank you,

    I am afraid if this rain event hits in the drainage as forecasted the whites will be in Kansas and beyond like last year. ☹️

I went down on Wednesday after work and didn't do that great. Of course I was just wading though so I couldn't get to where they really were. I did manage to land 4 though and those seemed to take forever to catch. Of course then on Thursday and Friday the deluge began and the creek came up mighty high and muddy. I went back down again on Sunday and the water was rolling. The level was just up to the parking lot, but it was relly getting it on. I did see five rigs in the parking lot so some were giving it a go. Also saw probably one of the most unsafe things in a while. Two small jons loaded up heading upstream. Problem was the first one had two big ol boys and it was just plowing upstream with maybe 4 inches of the sides above the water line. Neither one wearing a life jacket of course. The other boat was small as well, but it headed upstream with one of the guys sitting upfront on the pedestal. No life jackets as well. With the water rolling like it was it just looked like a disaster waiting to happen.

Some people should not be operating boats just like cars .

Ollie would fit right in.

Been wanting to go, but where I work I can't take off during the end of November or the complete month of December.  I have over a month's worth of vacation I can take any other time of the year though. Hence the trips I have taken in January in February for trout fishing. I am probably going to go back down to 10C tomorrow after work so I will give an update then.

Wasn't sure if you were encouraging @ollie to go down and fish and enjoy the comeraderie or for the possibility to see unsafe boating practices 🤣

They are still staged out in the lake up here.    2 miles down from the mouth of the creek.  My helper and I found loads of them.

Caught a dozen decent ones and several dinks. All males. 

Blue/white Clousers on a 5ips sinking leader.    All bites were in 6-8ft.
