Notes

Low and slow was presentation style for today. Water visibility was 1.2-2' between both tributaries, with 2' at the second one. Most fish caught at second location, including three 18" (juan) and one 17.25" (Brent).

Fish were pushed back from Wed. location in first trib due to that trib's water levels starting to fall overnight while main river continued to rise. THe ledge area that concentrated smallies had too fast of water, so fish moved back to bridge pilings right next to mouth.

In second trib, smallies were found on seams of faster/slower water. Water visibilty gave water a light brown color, but not too dirty. FIsh were still able to find the predator claws that Brent and Juan were throwing, along with my coldwater delight.
