2/12 Report

[WestCentralFisher]

Spent yesterday morning on the Niangua and had the river to myself. Fishing was very slow, but after awhile I did manage to figure things out a little bit and catch and release five rainbows before calling it. Tried to locate some smallies/goggle-eye, but they were either not on the usual winter spots or uninterested in what I was tossing. More likely the latter you have to figure. 

It's always strange (in a nice way, of course) having a usually crowded river all to yourself. Especially in the first 45 minutes to an hour when I was still working to break the skunk, there was a real feeling of "what does everyone else know that I don't?"
