[#0000FF]This was literally a "temperature-taker" trip. We had some good trips in the past...usually from about mid October. I'm thinking that the Rock Cliff area will likely be better than where I went. But it will take a long drive down the old road to launch...and a long ways before seeing much depth.
Actually, Deer Creek is on my "pretty soon" list. With the weekday crowds subsiding it is time for some fall perchin'. The trout are also about ready to play near the surface and there are some nice ones in amongst the Freddies.
Let's get our dance cards together. I have a new line of "hot head" flies I wanna show ya. I make a bead-head on the front with hot melt glue...and then paint them up like I do my jig heads. Lots of glitter and with eyes...but neutral buoyancy.
Ha! Next size up? I took another picture and I borrowed a line from Jaws..."You're gonna need a bigger boat." (see attached)
