From the outset, they were amazed by the fish in the hatchery and I talked to them about the stocking programs in the rivers in Arkansas. Then we made our way down to the creek and basically had the place to ourselves due to it being a weekday and the fact that it was so cold. I promised them both that we would get them on big fish and sure enough, Dry Run didn't disappoint. We weren't able to hook any of the true monsters the creek holds, but both tied into some great fish that had their 3lb test line stretched to the max and the drag screaming on the reels. We fished 1/16oz jigs in various colors. The fish were SUPER aggressive, which was different than what I have seen on Dry Run a lot of the time. Most of the time the presentation is slow and steady, fishing drifts and letting the jig sit in the water a lot. These fish wanted ACTION and movement, the faster the better. Anyway, both boys had a great time and went away with memories that will hopefully last a lifetime and a hunger for fishing and the outdoors that will keep them coming back.
