Tried S. Monte again yesterday. Must have been 50 trailers parked there. I had to "invent" a parking space. Same sad song for me and most others, although I did catch a nice jack. Fish checker said she had only checked five adults. Should have talked to her before launching; could have watched the Seahawks instead.

I must say that, despite the crappy fishing, I have really enjoyed doing short, lazy floats in this beautiful weather. Not the usual fall experience. Still, I'm hoping for a good rain this weekend so folks can get up in the woods to hunt and the fish can start moving in earnest.
