Water has been low and clear. Pressure has been incredible - boats and bankies like i've never seen. Understandable because the fishing has been pretty hot - but I think slowing down (maybe some fresh rain is needed).

I hit the river for an hour on Monday - just trying to find a spot less crowded. Finally found a run that a drift boat was working on the other side (but no bankies). I came in and worked behind him tossing a chrome spoon. About 10 minutes later I had nailed a nice 8lb hatchery buck - what a chromer! He became Christmas dinner (along with our ham).

Didn't fish Christmas day.

Today (Wed), I fished another new spot to avoid the crowds. I put on a plug and within 20 minutes I had a 5 to 6lb hatchery buck on (he nailed it while I was checking my watch). I let him go (he was a little dark - possibly a summer run?). Then I went to work. Nice way to start the week!

How's the Sky been fishing??
