Dick Pearce and Everett getting ready last night


This beautiful fish took my fly in 3' of water



This fish was taken last night on my pink high tie fly. I believe more and more larger fish such as this one will become more copious as the days go on because so many more larger bait fish are showing each day such as hickory shad, and, snapper blues, along a with  steady diet of other bait.  

Hi everybody, I fished the narrow river this week and found that the water temperature to be a good 56 degrees. We found schoolies and shad to be somewhat prolific. The shad are coming into the river just at dark. They come in schools and when you get into them their a lot of fun, especially if you use a 6 or 7wt. rod, the bad news is they do not stay for long. Cast to the fish and release quietly and get your fly out into them as fast as possible. With all of that said we did in fact manage to take many fish for the 10 minutes that they where there; like in the past I do think that these shad will be in the river to stay for a while, as they have in many years past. We also took some very nice sideliners.  Again remember, if you release your fish please practice Catch and Proper Release, thank you.
