I've been fishing the Nooch for about 20 years now, and this is the WORSE I've seen it besides days that the Hump or Cow is blown out of shape. I went down for what I figured was a fairly peaceful float down the Nooch, and to my surprise by 6am there were already 5 trailers at blackcreek and 8, yes 8 at the crossover bridge. I'm pretty good about reckognizing guys who float the river alot by seeing them float by my Dad's property. But I only reckognized 1, maybe 2. Almost every decent slot was taken and well anchored up by daybreak. I had some good hits, but had to hit the little underlying slots, couldn't hit the decent holes (eventhough the whole river has pretty much changed entirely since the flood this year). What's going on??? I'm at a loss, who spilled the beans? I had some nice hits, eventhough I was basically backbouncing the whole river hoping for a hit while trying to row my cat at same time.

Well, besides maneuvering around the armada saturday, I did see some funny things. Watched a couple guys almost dump their brand new driftboats in the river at crossover. First, one guy tried backing all the way down and almost dumped boat over the side. Second backed boat down to the water, and couldn't get the boat to slide off (guess it helps if you DISCONNECT boat before you try to slide it off trailer) Just venting, but a day on the river beats a day at work.....tight lines.....
