After a severe butt-kicking yesterday, we decided not to fish in the rain today.

‘Tis the season for the floating weeds/grass to begin. As the days get shorter and the river bumps up, the mature vegetation is starting to break free. The pea soup coming out of Chautauqua Lake is adding some color to the river as well. It won’t be long before the Corps begins switching the gates to a bottom discharge which always adds some color to the upper river too.


Stay tuned and good luck!
