The past week…..

[Red Childress]

I was down in VA visiting my dad after not seeing him for exactly 2 years (Covid). I dropped my boat off at Wiegel’s on the way down so they could service it. Unlike most service appointments, I always end up replacing parts and fixing rattles due to the crazy amount of hourly use each year. The Wiegel guys call my boat the ‘test dummy’ because they have never dealt with a boat that gets used as much as mine. She is 13 years old with 1340 hours on it and I will likely be putting engine number 3 in it within the next couple of years.

Anyway, I plan to get on the river 3 or 4 times next week as the summer break is winding down. River conditions will likely dictate what species we chase as it looks like the river is bumping way up today from the storms this past week.


Good luck and stay tuned!
