yeah my personal favorite on the river but later in the season those fish will be in the tail out as well, toss corkies and bait there and you will be fighting fish all day too.

Nice job. A little dark, but still in pretty good shape.

Got back from fishing the corner hole today and again I got skunked but my mom actually got a nice chrome 7lb hen, great eggs too. Only saw a couple others caught super slow, there were a few fish rolling but not many.

yeah rain has really been avoiding that area. Lack of fish at the cow is also causing a huge rise in pressure on the skook. Lots of netting too, the river is really taking a beating this year. DannyL, I havent made it down there since my last pic. Been working too much, but my husband has done well when he goes, he gets down there once a week.
