The water was running at 300 cfm and the fishing was good too slow. Most anglers were using night crawlers with a small pinch weight. Small spinners have also produced some nice fish.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
