Rain...we need Rain! Hopefully this weekend we'll get what we need to freshen things up.

Went out for a little healthy nature walk (fishing rod in hand) this afternoon with Fishkid. We parked at Bob Heirman Park and made our way down the trail to the river. We found a vacant spot and shimmied down the rip-rap.

There were all kinds of humpies jumping and swirling every which way, but we couldn't coax a strike in over two hours of casting a variety of spoons and spinners. Didn't see a single fish hooked among a dozen or so fishermen.

These fish weren't new to the river. Of all the fish we saw flipping and flopping, not a one was any color brighter than mud.

The most entertaining event of our day was watching a guy snorkling around in search of derilict fishing gear.

No tugs on our lines, but a fun time none the less. Always enjoy spending quality time with my boy. Catching fish is just a bonus.
