Tuscarawas River Report!

Hot Saturday on the Tusc.  Temps. in the high 80's and direct sun.  The Tusc. is low with little flow.  Still has green tint to it.  Zero shade and not much cover in this section of the river.  Managed a couple smallies and rock bass on plastics and small crank baits.

Rainbows are moving upstream!

Caught this acrobatic rainbow after dark tonight behind a waterfall.  He hit a slow and low swung black bugger.  Fish from the derby are now entering the crick and working there way upstream!  I expect to catch a few at least into the first week of June behind any fast water- early morning or just after dark!  

Trout Derby!

Not much to report from the past weekend except our local trout derby in Monument Park.  Too hot to get em in the day so we took the lantern down at dark and caught one after another on the ultra-lights with corn and glow bobbers.  

Kept a few that were hooked deep and had them for dinner.  They looked good but didn't have much taste.  Not sure why anyone would eat a stringer full unless you were starving!  

Mothers's Day Report

Dan with a bluegill from a new spot.  Real nice clean place close to home. The canal leads to a larger Koi pond. Didn't stay too long, prolly fishes better after dark!     

Nice white bass on the fly from Mahoning River.

Recent Catches!

Close up of my first carp from the Tuscarawas.  Took a red bead head bugger- black with red flash.
