Bite was good...leaves/wind were not.

A full day trip turned into a half day yesterday as the 25-35mph winds pulled leaves off trees/shoreline by midday. The wind was so strong it was blowing us upriver against a pretty strong current.......we were doing a multi-species trip chucking thundersticks along flooded shoreline structure catching a few nice walleye. The further we got from the Dam, the worse the leaves got. Almost every cast had a "leaf fish" attached to the bait. I also had the pleasure of fishing with a fever of 103.3. :)

Red,103.3 Temp not good for adults,I hope your not now getting the Flu as well. I hope you shake it soon!

103 is real high. Hope your feeling better soon. The river down this way was full of leaves thursday thru saturday evening and muddy and about 2 ft above normal, sunday evening was manageable with leaves. Still managed to move some fish in the evenings but no takers unfortunately.

I felt like crapola for sure but getting better slowly.......now my 5 yr. old has it.

The only reason I did not cancel the trip was my client just got back from Iraq and is heading back in Jaunuary. Like I told him, if he can sleep in the desert, get shot at and breathe sand for 12 months, the least I can do is get my sorry arse out of bed and take him fishing........so I did but just barely. :)
