With the family still out of town, I managed to fish Friday evening, Saturday morning, and Sunday evening. The river is still very high, muddy, and full of debris. I managed 3 legal fish on Friday, 3 on Saturday, and 1 yesterday.

Not great...and those 7 took a total of about 10 hours of hard fishing to get...but it'll only get better.

Carolina rigged floating jig heads with egg sinkers of varying weights (depending on fishing location) using short leaders (13-20") seemed to work best.

It was VERY crowded on Saturday morning, as with the high water levels, there are only a few decent locations to hit. Most left without fish...and were disappointed.

All fish were nice jacks in the 17-23" range. I did see a few females leaving the river as well. Things should improve greatly over the next two weeks. Water is still very cold...40 degrees on the button.

Corey...call me this week. I'm planning on fishing Tuesday, Thursday, and then for sure over the weekend.
